My 2-month old Western Digital WD2500 Serial ATA
hard drive stopped working and I lost all my digital family
pictures (from the last seven years).

Paul,
I can't do anything to help you recover your files. But I can
certainly make you feel worse about the whole thing. Perhaps in doing that,
maybe your lesson will help someone else, someday.

BACKUP!!!!
