External Hard Drive, why do you curse me?

So I woke up this morning and clicked on "My Computer", thinking "Shit, 500GB free on my 1TB external HDD?"
Clicked on it and found out most of my archived collection of pictures from my travels, old-school stand up VHS rips and the like have all gone.
All I'm gonna say is thank fuck for recovery software and the ability to leave my computer alone for 10 hours.
Might start saving up for a new external HDD and use it purely as an emergency image recovery drive. This is becoming more and more frequent now.
Any other tips to avoid this happening? I intend on making a recovery image as soon as it's backed-up

Hopefuly that will answer Dfg's question. I just don't know. I just have to do some scouring around for an image creator of a drive to recover in case this happens again. So glad I got on it as soon as I did, and a good defrag is in order.
I declare tonight to be...Computer Spring Clean Night!
On the plus side - I have a clean slate.
On the bad side - I've lost 2 years of work, music, pictures (travel, family, personal etc) and music.
Fuck my life. Even had a mini panic attack to go with it. 10mg valium and some morphine with a cigarette. Not the healthiest, but the fact all my housemates have moved back and I'm in no mood to speak to any of them, or other students for that matter - I am eternally grateful I have my &T family.
Like I've said many times before, if it weren't for you guys, I don't think I'd be around. Time to play some Rise of Nations and reload/recheck all my torrents. They are my backups.
I found a 500gb Hard drive once, was full of some girls holiday memorabilia. A moral battle was raging inside me as i really need a new Hard drive. ended up handing it in to security.
