Col, I can sympathise with you. This has happened to me some three times in the past six years or so. Once the computer man told me that ants had entered the CPU and destroyed a vital part. At another time it was a consequence of a freeware that I d/ld and installed. Of course each time I lost some files but nothing too vital. I reconstructed or laboriously retyped what I wanted. Now I always back up important docs in Google Documents or simply email the file to one of my email IDs so I can retrieve them when needed.
