Tried taking it to some IT-shop? Often the data can be recovered if the disk has not completely shattered or something lol.

Sorry for your loss.

That. Blows. You don't have backups?

Thanks guys. Last time I had it backed up, was about 60 weeks or so ago. I brought it in to an IT guy and he said my hard drive won't even read so don't get my hopes up on retrieving anything.

@eplusplus, that is incredibly generous of you, if you can, I would be really grateful!

If you're lucky it's possible that only the head/reader is broken, so a computer won't be able to do anything with it even though your files might be in there. Some people/shops who specialize in file recovery might be able to help.

I called a specialize shop in Dallas, with a rate of 399/hour. At that rate, I might as well get a new laptop

Dang, that sucks. Any chance you have any pics still sitting around on old memory cards from your camera?

Probably very expensive but you may be able to get your platters read and recovered if it means that much to you.

Lol. Pretty sure I didn't lose much if any on there but blew the graphics card which is $500 to replace according to the Genius Bar so can't upload for a while.
