    Um... why would we have copies of your work? Next time, back up your files using something like MEGA or Dropbox. :|

    Try the old freeze the hard drive trick. Sure it might only get you an hour or so of runtime from the damaged hard drive, and it mat not work at all, but you might stand a chance to quickly make fresh backups of the important stuff.
