    It certainly isn't.

    But look on the bright side, atleast you avoid the hazzle of manually deleting files for space

    You could however try to recover your files,

    Never used it myself, found it on a blog I read regulary. The guy writing the blog apparently got most of his data back using the above software.

    oh man, I had that happen to a NEW HD I bought a few years back. I was pissed too.
    Situations like this suck, but they do remind us to BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP data we want to keep.

    didnt work.. my bios needs to detect the drive before that program can scan the disk

    Problems is my bios can't detect it. so I think its completely broken

    Will email the store where I bought it, I hope I will recieve a new because this one is only a year old (receipt says 36 month's guarantee)

    I'm currently using a slow connection, it would take me month's to download everything again
