I have a bit of an older machine that I was fixing up for a relative who cant really afford to buy a new computer. Here and there I was putting in some time, removing a lot of files, etc., and then *POOF* computer reset.

Looks like the HDD went and no way to recover it. I was able to recover a files and applications, but does not look like it can be repaired and a new OS needs to be installed (on a new HDD of course).

Anyway, there are a few programs that the family wanted to use, like M$ Office, Photo album software, etc. Nothing fancy, but a pain in the butt to have to go through to get again... plus the M$ Office is from 2007.

Without registry files, I'm basically screwed right?
