oh wow that bites.
cant you just get a replacement drive?
unless it took out the motherboard with it which I have experienced more than once...
if I had money I would consider helping you DBL but Ava is a broke college student xp;
(Managed to nab a small app for my cell phone to post on gaia, it's a bit of a pain so I won't do much with it, but it's something at least).
I'm not completely positive yet, I took it to this great repair guy that's helped me tons of times before for very cheap, but haven't heard from him since yesterday. I'll be calling him tomorrow to get a damage assessment and see if I can just make a few replacements to fix it, or if I'm going to be stuck cannibalizing parts to make a new tower.
On a lighter note, my little brother returned from Iraq (second time) recently. He also had a labtop he is sending over that he said I can have, though it'll be a few months before it gets here if it took as long as it did to get to him in the first place.
Anyways if you can't donate that's fine, don't worry about it. I don't expect anyone to be able to really, it's more of a amazing if you can, perfectly fine if you can't = D.
Anywho, hoping to move the event on as soon as we get a that barrier down into the cave.
