TBone01, who is going to be formatting his drive soon, gets the credit for this poll question.
 
Pictures would definitely be the most devastating to me, all of those great times lost to my cruddy 10 second memory? They would never be found again. Which reminds me I need to back up my files.
 
I have 60+ gigs of rap music, and many hours were put in by adding the lyrics to each song in itunes, finding the album covers for each album, and changing the song titles so they aren't one word, all in caps, or -'s replace spaces.

Screw my 200 gigs of games i need my music. D:
 
Certainly my documents, if I didn't have them I would have lots of trouble submitting assignments for my online high school D:
 
Programs. I dont really have too many songs or pictures on my computer.
 
I'd probably rage quit if all my music files (especially the ones I need for school) got deleted.
 
my music is purchased through itunes and can be re-downloaded. My games are purchased through steam and can be re-downloaded. Saved games, eh don't care about starting over. Games not purchased through steam are on the shelf and can be reinstalled. Pictures...I don't really take pictures.

Video files (I shoot a lot of footage for the youth group I work with) would be frustrating but I could shoot new ones.

Documents would be the most frustrating to lose. I keep records of important things, like my recent battle with my company to get the insurance benefits I am supposed to have and I would not be happy if I lost those records.
 
Saved games. It's just about the only thing that I would mind losing on that list, actually...
 
Omg, If I lost ALL my pictures, I would probably curl up into a ball and die. I'm a photographer and I've taken about or basically 10,000 pictures over the past 7 years. I mean, I've already lost big amounts of pictures before - Like a whole album, it was because of a computer glitch and it just down right near broke my heart. I cried.

I first went to music but then I remembered that music can be replaced pretty easily - pictures however, cannot. I've learned to back them up in different and certain places, but I'm still suffering with memory problems. Haha.
 
I don't keep much music, videos and images on my PC, games on steam can be replaced by grabbing GCFs off another PC and I can use the rest of the time to install programs.
Documents like WIP .PSDs, coursework, maps and stories would be the worst, near irreplaceable.
 
thats a fitting question seeing as my wife just killed my 1tb hard drive by dropping it on the floor.
lost every picture we ever took with our cameras. baby pics wedding pics.
and 300gb of music.

i wasnt pleased
