I just collected my whole life for the last fourteen years onto one hard drive to make organizing it easy. Guess what happened next! One accidental jiggle of the usb cable later and I don't know what I'll miss more: my personal photos of friends, family and travel, my obsessively thorough archive of every decent fic I've ever read, my entire music collection, all of my bookmarks, or ten years' worth of niche porn.

I was just about to back it all up! And I know this isn't the end of the world, but I just keep remembering stuff that was only saved to that drive. I want to hit things and scream!

You could go to a computer repair place and see if they can scoop any data off it. It's expensive, but it might be worth it when there's so much important shit on there.

I really can't afford that, unfortunately. I've been using a number of recovery programs but so far none of the things that have been recovered are of any value - why, oh why, did I feel the need to screencap every scene of that illegally downloaded copy of X-Men First Class, for example? Why did I then save them all? Why do I still have every single one of them and none of the pictures of my nieces? Why.

What exactly did you do to your hard drive? Is it an external one? Tell me more about your setup, OP, and what you can do and can't.

Thank you very much, but I've been testing various data recovery programs all day and finally forked out some cash (a little more than I can afford, but it was ALL RIGHT THERE!), so I am now saving all the recovered files to a different drive. I think I have basically everything back again? I plan to spend tomorrow backing it all up and then I am going to relax again.

Basically, I freaked out because I removed the usb connector prematurely while I was using the Ubuntu OS installed on my external hard drive (which used to be my old laptop) and my dad is always talking about how unforgiving Linux is. So when I couldn't boot up in Ubuntu and half the folders on the drive showed up as corrupted in Windows I thought I'd wiped it all! That looks like a false alarm now, luckily. But thank you again.

I'm sorry to hear that. I had a hard drive crash a few years ago and I lost a lot of stuff. A repair guy recovered some of it, but a lot of stuff was gone, including the last photographs of my grandmother before she died.

That must have been awful, I'm so sorry. I was being fairly flippant in my last comment, but we've lost a lot of personal stuff before in a burglary, and it's the worst. I think I've managed to recover most of my files, luckily, but the sympathy was much appreciated last night when I was freaking out, thank you :)
