Learning Experience

It looks like there is a small chance I may be able to save some of the more important things I had neglected to make recent back-ups of, but I'm not really holding my breath. I guess I have to find something to the learn from all of this.. make it a learning experience. (something more than just "back-up more often")

UPDATE: Wow! After trying to retrieve data via firewire and having my disk crap-out several times over the past few hours, suddenly I am able to copy the entire thing no problem. At least I have the things I didn't want to loose. Now I can go ahead and try to just repair my disk with Disk Warrior. If it screws it up at least I don't lose the photos... I hope they are good enough to warrent this headache.

UPDATE 2: It's all set again, thanks to Karl and Disk Warrior. Of course, it's never that simple. Now it hangs a lot and the disk makes a rythmic wrrrrr chrrrr wrrrrr chrrrrrr whrrrrrr chrrrrr sound until I give it a little tap or nudge. Then it can finish doing what it was supposed to. Whatever it is, I hope it doesn't cost too much to fix.... if it can be fixed that is..
