Got around to adding some RAM today and next thing you know, my hard drive (WD 250gb) shits all over it's 0 sector, wiping out everything (including a good chunk of....yeah)

nothing like starting from scratch with no backups...

Thats what you get for not having a backup.

all 200gb accumulated over several years

If its just the boot sector/partition tables that are f'ed up, you can still probably recover most of the data. A similar thing happened to me and I recovered about 95% of my stuff using PC Inspector File Recovery (freeware). A few files were corrupted, but most of it was fine.

Too late, already formated, reinstalled xp, and currently typing from that drive

Depends on how you formated (I don't think you wiped), I can still recover most of the data.

Bummer man ... I've been there & it really sucks.

I suggest you ask Santa to bring you an external HD & a copy of Acronis True-Image for X'mas this year!

Btw theres a computer repair company here in CT named "Effin computer repair"! (yes really! )

he was able to recover most of the data up until he reinstalled xp.
Now remnants of XP is scattered all over his valuable data.

NICE ONE!
