I'm so freaking mad at the moment because i lost all my work/drawings both finished and unfinished

i was gonna reinstall my Operating system this morning its not a big deal i do that about 2-3 times a year in order to keep my system at the best possible preformencs.
i keep all af my files separate i only have installed applications on the main drive (C and all music/pics/photos etc on another drive well for som reason my boot list had changed so that my "backup" drive for what ever reason had become C: (still haven't figured that one out) and because i also maintain my fathers and my mothers system the formating and re installing is more or less a reflex operation i can tell you exactly what warnings and on what stage of the formating and installation thy will pop up and i know how long every damn operation takes.

but because the boot list changed i dident really think before acting so i formated the wrong damn HDD FU#K!!
but right now as i am typing this i think i know way my boot list changed... (damn im an idiot) i just a month ago got an external 300gig buffalo hdd crap that has to be the reason... cant tink of any ting ells.

so well any way luckily (maybe) i did a quick formating and right now im using a recovering program to try and get some of the data back so if im lucky i will get some of my work back i dont realy care about the music or media files but the photo and my works are the most important because those cant really be replaced...

well wish me luck and let me just say this one more time...
"I'm an idiot"- a huge one
