So I'm completely freaking out, and I feel like that little kid who tried so hard to do well but effed things up and now has to face the Devil Lady. Ive made myself ill over it, slept like crap, and can't get my mind to stop racing in later circles.
Last night I was working with the wife of my husbands boss, and we decided to take care of their computer so it would speed things up for them (they're older and very new at computers). The computer is almost ten years old -allhs I wanted to do was a disk clean up and defrag, pretty routine but things they hadn't ever done. The computer was so screwed up it needed to run a check disk. I called my dad for info on how to do that because I never had before and didn't even know what it was. Well, at some point I may have accidentally (don't ask) had the computer restore its factory settings BUT when I did, there was an option to do it and save all the data (pictures and stuff of their life and traveling) which I did do, obviously. When the computer finally finished everything, the only way I could find the back up file was to manually go in and check the c drive. It's all there, I just can't figure out how to get it back, and I can't undo the restore factory settings.
Im supposed to be there right now finishing getting the files back, but I've made myself so ill thinking I may have really screwed it up that I'm physically ill right now at the house. I keep trying to tell myself its OK the files areback there, but that nagging voice tells me I effed upthings and theyre going to take it out on my husband and myself.
