Waaahhhh
The geek squad for once did something right, yet oh so wrong. They can fix my PC (by replacing the hard drive for the fourth, count it fourth time in the 6 yrs I've had the computer), they say they probably can't get the files off unless they charge $200 to send it away - I have a possible guy who might be able to do it, and for free.
While that's all fine and dandy, I was hoping it was done so I could get the Macbook. Looks like I'll have to wait until it breaks for good, but you will all be pleased to hear that I am more than likely going to go with a Mac for my next computer. I can't wait to get it!
Just a note, I only took it to the geek squad because my computer is still under the warranty through Best Buy so they could fix it for free. But anyway thank you to everyone on here for convincing me further to go to the Mac side when it is time for me to get a new computer!

Wow, 6 years old and its still under warranty? I'm suprised they sold extended warranties that long.
As for recovering your files on the "dead" hard drive, give SpinRite a try. Its great, simple software which runs from a floppy or CD.
