My laptop died!

I can't believe it...I think my life may just be over! This morning my computer froze up, so I turned it off. When I turned it back on, it said Win 32 file missing. AHHHH!!!!! Wait, I have the "warranty" and it's Wednesday!!!!! I will simply take it over to Best Buy while I'm over on the west side for church and they will get me on my merry way. No, that's not what happened at all. They can't help me, they'd send it off to Toshiba (2-4 weeks). One of two things, either my computer needs to have a system restore (software problem-Toshiba doesn't cover it would be charged by Best Buy and Toshiba), or it's a bad hard drive (covered under warranty)...but I'll lose everything either way. I haven't backed up in two months. So Best Buy offered to back up my hard drive for $169! Cough, choke, cough...so I will wait and see if I have any other options...or at least save money to "save my stuff on my hard drive". On the way home, I got the brilliant idea to call super computer guy in our home school group...maybe he can help? I dropped by late and he tried very hard, but alas, he needs another part he doesn't have to "save me". So, my computer sits, until I can save up money to buy the "right part" for him to save me...then I'll do a system restore, if that doesn't work, we'll have it sent to Toshiba to replace the hard drive (the card reader doesn't work either). I'm going to die! Does anyone know what the internet and computer are to me? Life...I tell ya, it is precious! LOL...guess I better work on that!
