Better news

UndeadDude, by means of his computer wizard knowledge, voodoo, and some rather disturbing naked dancing, managed to get most of the data off the dead hard drive around 3:30am last night. Not sure what was lost… it will be an adventure tracking it down.

We bought a new drive and we’re transferring the data now. The server should be up some time this afternoon.

My stomach is in a little wad right now.

that was supposed to be a reply to the other thread: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=66819

I’ll lock this one off then, no problem.

Good luck restoring your data, Opal.
