Can somebody kindly describe what I exactly need to do?How did hard drive get %26quot;broken%26quot;? Or did it crash? If it crashed, take it to someone who knows what they are doing or a computer store - they can get your files back and copy them to your new hard drive. If somebody took a hammer to the hard drive, forget about your files and kick that somebody's bo-hiney.

Just get somebody to knows what they are doing to fix it however.

You would probably just screw it up more.
