Similar story: On an older PC, I had a large file (20,00 word story) I was working on, and after everyone nagging me, I got out some floppies to make a backup. Basically, while saving the disk drive went 'crunch, grind, grind' then stopped, crashed the whole computer, corrupted the file beyond recovery and resulted in me swearing alot.

I did recover 10,000 words or so from a word auto backup/recovery file from after a backup. Lots of retyping....
