I have never had a bad harddrive*knocks on wood*, but i have lost data other ways. I have two harddrives and i stupidly let my dad format the Windows drive, well he messed up and fdisked and formatted the downloads drive. I was so upset because i had pictures and stuff on it that i couldnt get back. More recently, my motherboard died. So, all the downloads i had on the Windows drive were lost. I tried slaving the drive on the other computer and it wouldn't work so i was forced to erase the disk. At least i didnt lose my 8 gig mp3 collection though.
