[simpits-tech] AAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *SOB*

[Brian Sikkema]

Guys, I NEED HELP!!! I JUST ROACHED MY C DRIVE!!! No backups, naturally, 
because I'm an IDIOT. Hell, the thing is screwed because *DUMBASS* here 
didnt feel like making an undo disk when he toyed around with a bootup 
option. *IDIOT IDIOT IDIOT IDIOT*

Here's the story: My C: drive uses (or, used to use) LiLo, because I had 
both windows and linux on the same drive. Whenever my computer would run 
scandisk, say, if I shut the computer down improperly, it would tell me 
there was an error in the IPL routine and ask me if I wanted to fix it, and 
stressed that I shouldnt f' with it if my system worked properly. Well, I 
was on the verge of removing linux, and figured if I told it to just fix the 
IPL routine, it would just set the MBR back the way it was before I put LiLo 
there, and boot windows as normal. WRONG. Instead, now it doesn't boot, 
period. Shoot. Well, I re-installed linux, and got LiLo back in there. I 
figure I should be ok now. Wrong. I can load linux now, but when I tell it 
to load windows, it still wont go. So, I go into windows, and mount the 
Windows drive, figure I'd move my files over to my other HD, then re-install 
windows. Well, take a look at the windows directory and... GARBAGE. 
EVERYTHING COMPLETE GARBAGE. There's stuff there, but its not what it should 
be, all jumbled garbage file names and folders, a complete mess. A complete 
and utter damn mess.

Is there any way I can recover this? PLEASE?!?!?! *SOB* I've lost my 
high-res Mercury Model, I don't even want to think about how many hours that 
took to put together - not to mention I've lost all of my bookmarks as well, 
which means I'll have to track down all of my references again, and.... 
*SOB* I can't even bear to think about how much I've lost if I can't recover 
this.... PLEASE someone know a way!!! *whimper*

Brian
