I am FREAKING OUT because I got up to get something to eat after doing a bit of work this morning and when I got back, my desktop computer would not turn on.
I luckily have another machine to borrow, but I don't have access to my email archives, all my documents are inaccessible, and I can't do everything I'd normally be able to do.
Now I don't know what to do, because my computer has so much important stuff on it. All my photos... all my everything.
Anyway, I am suffering a mild heart attack over my computer at the moment. I am going to see if my brother can take a look at it. I might have to drive my computer to OC to have him examine it.
GRRR!
Please send a little healing prayer that my hard drives are still intact.
UPDATE: My Bro rules so much! He says that I can bring the compy to his place this weekend and he'll fix it. Still, all healing mojo is appreciated!

Depending on what's wrong with it, something like Knoppix (http://www.knoppix.org/) might help you. It's saved my ass a few times, including this weekend.
