I wish I could format you out of existence.

Acronis True Home Image is your good friend... If this doesn't teach you to make regular backups, then add another punch to the failure card...

I'm sorry for your loss. = (

I think it is important not to store data which you care about on the same partition as your operating system. That way if your operating system fucks up files it won't matter much if you have to reformat the partition it's on.

Correct potatis is correct. I have windows on a whole drive on its own, and then use another for my games, documents, maps, etc.

Then again, I've never had to reformat XP in the 7 years its been installed.

Go back on your steam account, all your steam games should start downloading again. Saved games will dissapear, though. Just reinstall everything else. Sorry to hear.

I've never had to re-format. Ever.
That's just me and i've been using XP the month since it came out.

That happened to me a while ago.
And somebody I knew (who doesn't know much about computers) left their computer in the company of some pranksters (who do know about computers), who ended up setting it so that a giant photo of a penis appears whenever it is turned on.
She's also afraid that her mum will see it some day, as she occasionally uses it for the internet.
