I don’t know what happened. When our computer had the “NTLDR is missing” error, I suddenly rebooted our computer with the OS disk. Without proper technical background on how to install an Operating System no matter how simple it may be, I went ahead and worked on it; which in turn, deleted all those precious files that consumed the 60Gig partition. We felt so dumb, not backing up in advance. We just resolved to trying to start over.

Until this evening, my brother tried searching for the files, and voila! Amidst the rain and the uneasiness, our mp3s, picture files and other significant programs were restored! And like any technically challenged computer user (who only knows callaway golf balls), I don’t know why it’s still there when supposedly we have reformatted the hard drive already. Nevertheless, we didn’t bother questioning the higher gods as to how this has happened. We’re just thankful that we still got them. Now we better start backing up.
