I sent my laptop for repair to this random guy from an ad in the newspaper. The problem could've been fixed by a simple re-installation of WIndows, but I bought my laptop without a CD drive, so he had to install a cd drive in order to fix the problem. He THEN told me that the boot sector of my hard drive had damaged files, so in order to make the laptop useable at all, the disc had to be re-written. He has now started writing on the wiped disc.. does this mean there is absolutely NO way to get my data back? I'm SO upset..I spent last year in Guatemala and have lost ALL my pictures. I'm completely clueless when it comes to computers, so if anyone could offer me a shred of hope, it would mean SO much to me... but no false hope, plz.. I've had enough disappointment already! :(
