    Samantha..

    I know you don't want to hear this but after almost 20 years in the PC support business I tell all of my client. BACKUP! BACKUP! BACKUP!. There are multiple ways to do this now a days. from external drive to online cloud backup. And some of it free up to a certain amount of data. I have seen families go thru the same thing from a hard drive crash and loose eveything. There is nothing you can do about that now. but going forward you need to backup everything..
