Our hard drive crashed Saturday morning (or overnight Friday). There was no warning, no symptoms leading up to it. It was working fine Friday night, totally crashed Saturday morning. The damn thing wasn't even 6 months old.

It was still under warranty with Gateway, so they're sending us a new hard drive, but there was a LOT of stuff on there that's most likely lost. I took the drive to Best Buy, where we got it, so that they could try to recover the data on there, but I'm far from hopeful. I mean, it's fucking Best Buy. I've been trying to call them to check up on it, but I can't even get through on the phone. And they charged me $89 just to try, whether they succeed or not, which I think is a fucking ripoff.
