Okay, I'm on my sister's Win98 AOL Dial Up PC becase this morning at about 1:30 my Laptop just took a dive.
When I start it up it says, "Cannot Find Operating System" or something to that extent. I serisouly don't know what happened. I tried to get it up in safe mode and succeeded once but now I can't even do that, all I get is that error message.
I also tried booting it up using my XP Pro CD in the CD Drive but it started to do a System Recovery so I let it, then it stoped because there was some kind of error.
There's a weird sound coming from the computer now, it's like a clock ticking very very loudly and it only happends when the computer tries to do something likie start up.
Please don't tell me that my HD is gone, I couldn't take that.

there's weird ways of recovery, I've been told
putting it in the freezer
dropping it a short distance
one guy said he managed to recover data by taking out the hard drive (still plugged in), and rubbing it on carpet with his foot while he typed
