My Hard Drive is Dead

It's official. My hard drive is dead.

I took it out and put it in another computer and got the same "primary hard disk drive 0 not found" error.

And I've been in a pissy mood all day.

What I lost: All my web development files. I had a localhost webserver set up so I could check out content management systems and create themes. All gone. The new theme for this site, gone.

What I didn't lose: My pictures were backed up a couple months ago on CDs. My iTunes are on my other old Dell, this time a laptop. My bookmarks were synced with foxmarks. Most of my current writing is on my iMac (which I'm using now.)

Crap.

What's done is done. I just need to figure out what to do now that I'm down one (important) computer.

What a nightmare - the same just happened to me. I'm gonna try Ontrack (www.ontrack.com) who have offices worldwide, and seem to have a really good reputation for recovering data from dead HDDs.
