Thats crap luck but it happens, you need to invest in an external hard drive or even a thumb drive for smaller important stuff, save it to that and backup anything you need. At least periodically burn it to cd or something.

Theres probably a recovery method but it might cost you some $$.

I could ship it to some place in Norway and They'll charge me 5k for it.

Learn from it.

Don't ignore antivirus expiry warnings - keep it up to date with defintions and do a full scan once a week. At worst, you can use the free online scanner from Trend, called HouseCall.

And BACKUP. Everything. Regularly.

related about some virus warnings.

don't some anti-virus progrms treat anything that tries to alter a directory as a virus?
i recall something about an *cough cough* xp2 patch that will bring up an virus message unless you rename it or put it in the right place.

No.

darn.... then I guess my old pc has a virus...
might explains few things.

why not just run system restore next time? I do that everytime i get a virus that Mcaffe cant get rid of. Restore to a day or two before you got the virus and its gone

[Oz]

Because System Restore will definately not recover data from a drive that has died. All it will do is restore the OS to an earlier point in time.

This is why I welcome our new high capacity Blu-Ray overlords.
