I feel for ya!  When I had my laptop I lost track at the number of times I lost everything due to problems and had to reinstall all of my runtimes from scratch. Believe it or not it got to the point where it didn't even phase me anymore,  LOL

Earlier this year my old desktop up and died on me and I saved all of my runtime content to CDs (no DVD burner on that machine) and  in hidden directories on my website because I ran out of CDs!

When I got my new computer whatever I was able to upload to hidden directories on my web I managed to salvage. However most of the stuff on my CDs ended up messed up because I used BatchZip Tool Kit to zip and it didn't retain the folder structure. So I had to reinstall almost everything from scratch..again!  Took me weeks and weeks and weeks.  Months later I'm still looking for things and realizing that I don't have it installed.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
