A lotta the good stuff is owned... but honestly... so much... lost...
dude, don't give up..

i've wiped out 2 hard drives in a move, but i've been able
to use spinrite to recover most of the drives..its VERY VERY
time consuming, and i've had to dedicate a laptop to it 24/7
but its 95% done, and almost every bit has been recovered..

you don't want to end up having to send it a data recovery
place though, that's very expensive..

always, remember, try to have things backed up to dvd, etc.
i do incremental back ups now, and have things in 2 places,
its not perfect, but at least i'm not going to lose everything
at once..
