I'm sorry I can't help (hello, I'm a Mac and I'm dumb because of it), but isn't it funny how, at this point, I would rather someone rummage through my drawers and in my bedroom or medicine cabinet then have them look at my hard-drive?

I have a pact with a friend that if either of us die (knock on wood) that we will wipe each others hard drives before our parents get to them.

Good luck with the computer.
