Oh, poo  - just found this thread and was getting excited about her. :( . 

Sorry that this happened to you.  It seems it's always when you haven't backed up something you really wanted up that HD failures happen.  I also hope you didn't lose too much other stuff....

Maybe you'll decide to re-create her, and find it's easier this time, and even better! 

Cheers,
Alisa
