I feel for you, my friend. My computer got his by a power surge during a storm last week, literally as I was shutting it down (we bought a new power surge protector earlier the same morning, but it was getting charged up still). I lost my work computer for two days, until my local geek came over, salvaged my hard disk content and only re-installed windows again. "All" I had to do and it's still not done yet, is just re-install every program I had running.... And yes, I switched to hubby's computer until I got my computer fixed
