I had to reformat!!!

I've had to do that before. In a typical perfect storm comedy of errors, I lost my thesis, all 5 backups of it and the hard drive one day near the end of my Masters. I spent the next week piecing together parts of files I was able to salvage doing various "bit/byte editing methods". Then I had to rewrite all the missing gaps. Made me actually cry. But, it was a manly cry.

Hope it works out for you. Hope you find your computer faster now.

Good Luck

Mac users don't have these problems.

OK, it does not happen to Mac users who don't download pirated stuff!

You mean to tell me pirated software can be risky and might damage a comp?

For shame! That is no way or shape the fault of the OS, be it any OS.

That's like I put a peanut butter sandwich in my CD drive so dell sucks.

Oh yea, I won't lie or disagree you can break any OS if you do silly things to it though, just normal usage Macs don't tend to kill them selves like a windows machine does.

It's not a perfect or fail safe OS but sure beats the pants off the boarder line suicidal MS machines.

I hated how it was just a way of life to wipe your machine clear every once and a while here and there.

This is coming from someone who's used all 3 of the major OS's and rather decent working them, no means a pro though.

Won't argue with you there! I use all three OS flavors pretty regularly and I wouldn't use windows at all if I didn't need it to play the occasional pc game.
