Right now, I am panic-stricken and I could feel like I could cry. I need to go curl up into a little ball and slowly weep. My computer and all my files may be gone and lost forever.
My Laptop just froze, shut off, and when I went to turn it back on, it apparently couldn't detect the hard drive or something.
I don't know what is happening, but I'm prepared to just sit and sadly weep, if there is no way to save/extract the files off my hard drive.
