I completely fucked over the hard disk of my old laptopsome time ago by punching the spacebar in a drunken rage. I took my laptop to a repair place and they swapped the hard disk for a new one and, since I didn't have a disk for the OS, provided me with a nice shiny copy of XP SP2 and transferred all the old data from my laptop onto the new one and they only charged me for the OS disc and the new HDD, which still pretty fucking expensive (£150 total (I think that is around $300). Although, my HDD was partioned and for some reason only one paritition was fucked, which was the one with all the OS and Program data on it. The partition with all my personal data was okay.
In this day and age, an era where there are people who actually throw shit at each other, anything, could be possible.
