Default Had to reformat

So this weekend was supposed to be my big backup, I had finally cleared enough room on my 500gig to hold everything. Went to bed with copy actions running and wouldn't you know it, woke up to the unable to boot screen. Of course none of my copies went and I had to reformat my hard drive. Lost all the pictures I had taken since last year's rally, and all the movies I had for my iPhone. I can get most everything back except for the pictures but it's gonna take a long time and a lot of ass pain. Stupid Vista, and stupid me for not backing up earlier or having recovery disks. I feel like such a n00b.

I am not picking on you(you have guns and know how to use them), I am picking on all the Mac fanboi's that cannot put down the cool-aid.
