My hard disk failed, and now I've lost all of my drawings.

If you feel the need to cry, post it here.. I'll pat you on the back. :cry:

No pictures, it just makes a sound as if parts are laying around in it when you shake it.


And thanks for the inspiring comments.

open it up. HD cases are really easy to open, all you need is a torx set, which if you dont have, you should go get right now. The unbroken platters make nice wind chimes.
Do not look back, and grieve over the past, for it is gone;
Do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come;
Live life in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering.
