In case someone cares...

1) I was formatting my HDD and after reinstalling Windows I noticed that the folder where I had saved all my artworks is gone. I have absolutely no idea how that could happen. I am 100% sure I checked that my backups were complete and even the log file of my backup tool told me that it saved the entire folder and still this folder is missing and only this one. All the other files I had were saved. Well... now it's all gone...

2) I couldn't post that earlier because I can't access the deviantART page in general. At first I thought the page was down but after a few days I tried a proxy server and it worked. Right now I am using a proxy located in the US. I have no idea why I can't access the page anymore. Maybe my ISP blocked the site or something. Although I can't imagine why they should do that...

3) I was working on a tutorial on how I use custom brushes to paint nebulae but now that all the stuff is gone I don't think I'll ever finish it. Same with all the other half-done work I had lying around. The wallpapers I wanted to upload are lost as well and... ah whatever. Fucking shit.

I hope you had a little bit more luck last week.

Think maybe you accidentally "hid" it? If that was the case, the only way you'd see it is if you used "search" to find it, or directly typed in the correct address in the address bar at the top of a window. I thought I'd accidentally deleted some stuff once, but it turned out I hid it under a different name than I had previously used for the file.

No that was not the case. I think I figured the problem out now. But it means there is absolutely no way to recover anything.

Damn, I'd flip out and cry.

But clean slates are a good thing sometimes. I wish you the best.

That sucks, hope you have some luck with the backup itself. Computers can certainly f*** you over sometimes...

Well, that sucks.

At least I know you didn't die. *shrugs*

You have my sympathies. That just sucks. Happened to me too. Well not my hdd, but that of a friend. I was setting up his new system and while doing that I added a new hdd to it. Unfortunately it was late, we had some alcoholic beverages and (to make it short) I erased the wrong partition. That sucked. If it had been (just) mine, I would have gotten angry with myself and that would've been that. But it wasn't. He forgave me.
