OK, so I'm still on Rainwife's laptop because my PC's having HD trouble. I wanted to clear it out and set the whole system again, but while making partitions (I want a dual boot) it read an error. Seems like the HD is damaged, so I'm getting a new one.
Any suggestions? |

check your ram as well
I once replaced a harddisk. (gave errors during formatting) there was nothing wrong with the hd. It was the ram...

Unfortunately it is the HD (I had the RAM checked out now - my neighbour has a PC repair shop).
I just hate the fact I lost so much DATA  |

well if lost data were too rare and you have enough money, you should contact some data recovery association. we have one in slovakia, but i dont know if it helps you, since you live in slovenia=]
but you will surely have some too btw i found article on one of those assotiations site that might interest you
