Sorry to hear that, I guess thats why you were researching Solid State hard drives. Be careful with those, it seems the memory cells on them can only be written/erased a certain number of times leading to degraded performance over time. Windows 7 is supposed to spread the usage over the entire disk to reduce this impact.
I have my data backed up, but still reinstalling everything is a nightmare. Once I get Windows fully installed, Im going to ghost the drive so I have XP ready to go if my main drive dies. Waiting for Newegg to deliver parts so I can update my blog sucks.
Newegg Fail! Somehow my order didnt get processed last Thhursday. Sigh. Here hoping the blog will be back ASAP. Really sucks as there is a TON of stuff I want to talk about.
Lets start with this: Project Natal can bite me.

uh oh. You know, ever since the md PC crash of '09, I've started keeping double back-ups of everything. Extra HDDs are a piece of mind.
