The fact in my case say one thing: How moron i was......!

 As for the files i lost: Around 8.000 PDF and 12.000 PS, with mathematic,
programming, Chess and scientific related things, around 880 Chess engines,
19.000 PGN files (with around 47.000.000 Chess games!!!!!), 8.000 pictures,
20.000 music files, 1500 nb(Mathematica) files with very important Mathematical
programs, 300 nb files i created with many nice stuff, a huge Atomic Chess
opening theory i was preparing with around !!!!70 times!!!! more variations than
all known Atomic sites offer and with a line that is probably proves a forced
win for white and much, much more.....
 Not the cure of the cancer but still important.....
