It Hurts Like Stretching Your Bottom Lip Up Over Your Head...

ARRRRRGH! Well I officially admit stupidity. You would think after 7 years in the computer field I wouldn't have done something so stupid, but hark ye worthy souls hear my tale and learn from me!

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, and I repeat NEVER interrupt a disk repartitioning program while it is in the middle of repartitioning. I have recently installed Ubunutu linux as a secondary OS on my laptop. So I used a really cool little free linux disk repartitioning LiveCD that is called GParted. I wanted to move my data partition to beginning of the disk to get more space for my linux partition. So I start the procedeure and see that it will take 4:45 hours. I didn't have that much time when I started it, so I thought I would cancel the procedure and do another time when I have more time. So I click cancel... and ignoring the big warning that says "Performing a cancel now may cause SEVERE problems on the disk."

I restarted and *poof* half of my data is completly unreadable. After 3 "chkdsk /f"'s later and a long cry I am kicking myself for not investing in an external HD...
