I was told the data can be saved so I'll be awaiting the new HD with the data on it.

I'm currently using my laptop for all artwork to see how it goes. It's just temperary until I force myself to get a more powerful desktop PC.

Thanks for everyone that wrote in. I appreciate it.

I've been having trouble with my laptop lately which is where I use the internet and such so I just bought Norton Antivirus and installed it. I also went to an earlier restore point to fix the illegal actions issue. Sure enough that fixed the problem.

So, I turn on my other computer that isn't hooked up the net. I haven't used it for several days and it was working fine with no signs of trouble. Then for some strange reason, the discs in the hard drive won't spin so now my computer won't boot up or anything. I can't access my data. It wouldn't be that big of an issue except this is the computer where I have all of my art on. To make things even worse. I was working on one of my own comic books to release this year and now I can't access it. I was so close to getting it done too.

The good news is, the data is still on the hard drive. The bad news is that I might have to pay 1k to have the data professionally removed. I'll also have to buy a new computer and my deviant art entries will be slim to none for the time being.

I've come to two conclusions: I'm dumb for not backing up my work and that computers suck.
