AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!
Just got the message..
Have to get some frustration out.. The hard-drive on my computer is busted! I have now lost tons of harmonica stuff. I would estimate maybe 30 of Adams lessons. Complete with tabs and videos.. Adams jamtracks.. Ronnie Shellist jamtracks.. Nat Riddles album.. Tons of downloaded youtube-stuff with my favourite songs.. A program for slowing down songs.. And a lot more..
The last two weeks I have now experienced:
*Payd 2000$ to little in taxes.. Had to pay that..
*My washing machine was broken.. That's nearly a grand
here in Norway
*My rottweiler had to be put to rest because she was sick.
300$ plus loosing my best friens for the last 8 years..
*And now my computer..
I have the blues! I need a drink... And I was high because of my first gig.. I should have known better..

There is "recover" software for crashed HDs available in most computer shops. You might want to try that before doing anything stupid, like formatting your HD drive or... even worse.. get rid of it...
I have successfully recovered files from a completely "toasted" HD twice... yeah you read that correct...TWICE.... couldn't save everything, but I did save all the important stuff...

People keep putting all their eggs in one basket. I have a friend who has his entire family history on one standalone 1 Terabite hard drive. I keep telling him to buy at least two more: I've got three identical Freecom 400s, and none of their content even has any sentimental value. Another friend went out and bought 6 Freecom 500s the day he began Forex trading.

Well, I am a computer guy and if the computer can tell it's there, it'd possible to get a significant amount of the data back.
The fact that it's telling you the boot volume is not mountable is an error that indicates that the computer can indeed see the drive.
Don't try to repair the filesystem - that will make matters worse. The drive needs to be imaged and you should then work on the image. In fact, you may be able to just get the data off without booting from it.
Let me know if I can help you further.

Andrew- and that doesn't even help if you have a house fire or something. I'm storing more data online these days. I've also thought about keeping a spare backup hard drive at my mom's house so if anything happens at my apartment I'm covered.
Thor, sorry to hear about your run of bad luck, especially your dog. Life piles on sometimes.

"that doesn't even help if you have a house fire or something"
True, but in my case, the loss of 1,000 books would hurt me more than the loss of some music and movies. Clearly the idea of keeping a hard drive at a relative's house is a good one.

arzajac:
my brother is a computer-nerd and he says that it will cost me A LOT of money to get the stuff back..
Is this true? Or is there a ok way to get it back without paying a lot of money.. And you have to answer in "computer-for-dummies"-ish.. I'm a retard with computers.. That's what brought me into this mess..

If the computer cannot tell that a drive is plugged in, then the only way to get the data is to open the drive up and "transplant" the platters into an identical drive. That costs a lot of money. That's basically a dead drive.
If the computer can see that a drive is there, then that procedure may not be needed and it would be possible to get your data back.
So, when the drive is inside your computer and you power it on, if you can stop the boot process and go into the BIOS menu (the "setup" menu) and take a look at what devices your computer sees, you can tell if the computer can see the drive or not.
If it can, you can email me and I can advise you further.
