I must have uploaded a playable version of GLaMS-DOS somewhere on the internet, but I'm not in the mood to recover or continue the project anytime soon. The lost of 4 years of work on other projects broke my morale.

Sorry.

If I ever find GLaMS-DOS back, I don't know what I'm going to do with it. Maybe release it, but it's not worth the play, the scenario is not the one I would have chosen as opposed to the one on the package.

Your best friend now.

Don't worry, after you think of something else to tinker with, the sense of loss will cease to overwhelm you. usually.

Well it depends when you might/did upload it. If it is months in the past, I would not want to work on it anytime. If its days. . annoying but I would get it done.

Sorry that this happened. . Did it delete Windows or anything important other then Gmod projects etc. My "morale" gets broken often and what do I do? I move on. . . .

This is true. It's amazing what those guys can recover data from and not just hard drives, any media; flash drives, CDs, DVDs internal drives on camcorders, you name it. Be prepared though as these services don't come cheap. If the hard drive isn't physically damaged you might even be able to dig the files out yourself with the right software as long as the data isn't overwritten too many times. You'll lose file names but with some work you can figure out what was what. I did this on my sisters Mac after someone deleted a years worth of important records.

But maybe now you'll learn about backing up. I have some files from 1997 still.
