A series of unfortunate events

no not the latest lemony snicket book...but the chaos that is my life. My pc has crashed twice in last month of so but both times I was able to nurse it back to life. In Novemeber I purchased an external hard drive (250gb) so I did not lose ALL my files but I did lose quite a bit of important stuff...I am going to see if any of it can be recovered. I have already decided on the new drive

Western Digital WD2500SB 250GB UDMA/100 7200RPM 8MB IDE HDD

Now just gotta get hubby to buy it......
