God Almighty!!!! CHKDSK saved my a$$!!!

[Imaginer]

I thought over 100 GB of stuff on my 120 GB drive is a gonner.

After my little experiment with trying to make an ATi AIW and an GF2MX card do dual display, my 120 GB now showed up as a blank drive that has not been formated. I thought WTF???

So after running around in circles in google trying to search for a solution/software, I figured I try chkdsk. (why didn't I think of the obvious)

Well, Windows recognizes my files and file system on that drive once again and I am relieved.

Had to share.

Sounds like my personal fear of having over 60GB worth of information that can be destroyed at any time (and would be a massive bitch to recover!)

But now you have to deal with the paranoia that your drive may or may not fail catastrophically in the near future...

Time to make backups? Time to get a new drive?

Or better yet... time to do both?
