If it hadn't have sorted itself out last night I would have done the same!

If you would have lost something important, forever, then it's time to consider your backup options. For most people, a USB stick or external drive is good enough, but maybe that's the basis for another thread.

Very good point-this has happened to me before. It wouldn't have mattered so much with this particular computer in this case (most of my work docs are stored on my netbook and photographs are stored electronically) but I remember being gutted when I lost all my music a few months back. Some of it totally irreplaceable!
