My wife's (User:Panyd, who wears the tricorn hat) laptop's hard drive has failed - it isn't recognised by the laptop when it boots up. We've run system restore, etc, and tried to ham-fistedly get it working, but nothing has been successful!
Does anyone have a spare CD which we could boot up the laptop from, or any suggestions as to what we could do next? Everything else on the laptop is in working order.
Can you get on IRC? (#wikimania ; I'm jeremyb there) or where are you? if you happen to be in Wikipedia Loves Libraries (Gelman Lib rm 702) I can try to help. otherwise maybe ~9 or 9:30 at dupont circle hotel?
