Happened to me too. I am still alive and actually helped somewhat .__.

Have no shame in being kindly and gentle, but if the time comes in the time of your life to kill, kill and have no regret. In the time of your life, live so that, in that wonderous time you shall not add to the misery and sorrow of the world, but shall smile to the infinite delight and mystery of it.

Just put your head up and move on. i have lost so much  stuff recently and past sure you in the beginning you find you need something but as time goes on you forget and move on. but i would if i were you if it does not spin bring it in to a computer repair store they will remove the platters and retrieve all the data. dont do it your self it has to be done in a static dust free sterile zone.  but if it spins the you are in luck there are some programs i have used to recover lost data on a partitioned hdd or a hdd that has gone rouge they recover what ever you want they take a long time but they work.

please tell me you tried some data recovery before you r3eformatted it as i royally :censored:ed up my drive once when i forgot to do something and some :censored: happened but i then ran some data recovery software and got probably 98% of my files back the other 2% were slightly corupted but they were like 800mb video files etc that had corrupted down to like 16mb so i only had the first few bits of the video. but thats ok as i got them backed up someware i think

i am not responsible for what i do or my advice

I reformat my computer like once a week, so I never care XD
However today I was brutally raped by a door handle, and none of my friends helped me up off the floor after ten minutes, instead they all teabaged me, all 10 of them...
