I'm wiped out

Was working on the last part of Mission 15 for U-107 and the computer froze as I was entering the Cuban Islands. I tried a restart but it would not work; file missing. No metter what I tried, my computer would not start. I took it into town to the technician. He had it for two days and could not get "on" my hard drive so he ran a diagnostics on it and found that it had a bad sector. So all is lost! My only hope of getting everything back which is on that hard drive was to send it to Toronto to the experts to see if they could retrieve anything. Now I'm kicking myself in the butt for not backing up that hard drive.

Everything on that drive relates to my making of my movies, my music, my ancestry - everything, my whole life is down the tube if they cannot retrieve the data that I require.
