Oct. 2nd, 2010 04:55 pmWow, when I have bad luck, I have BAD LUCK. Geek Squad says my hard drive is too damaged for them to back it up. The only option I have left is sending it in for Data Recovery, which will cost $60 just to ship. I'm already out $30 just for having the Geek Squad ATTEMPT to recovery my hard drive. Once I sent it out, the Data Recovery Group will get back to me with an estimate within 5 days. They warned it can be between $250 and $1,700.
I think I have pretty much lost my hard drive because while I could absorb $100 to back it up, I don't think I can absorb $250 or higher.
This means I have lost EVERYTHING: icons, fanart, video files (all my sound files/picture dramas), personal writing, pictures. EVERYTHING.
I bought my new GPS for $139, but I might spend the rest of my time after baseball with Tom letting it sink in that my data is not coming back.
I just don't know what to do. Please advise if anyone has suggestions. What I don't want right now is sympathy. I want advice on whether I should take my loss and be screwed or go through with the ridiculously expensive recovery process. :(
In the meantime, I will be... punching things. A lot.
