Sorry, zero sympathy here - if the work was that important you should have
backed it up. But, because of your lacksadaisical attitude to basic PC
maintenance (for want of a better word) you will now have to retype the
whole lot. It's your own fault, and I hope your lecturer/tutor isn't silly
enough to give you an extension. You deserve to receive an F or U because of
your sheer stupidity. I back up to an external drive once a week. I strongly
recommend you do the same.
