Semisane, the 250GD has two thing going for it,first it will shoot a 1/2 inch group when every thing is right especally the wind, second every thing I have shot [deer and boar] has dropped on the spot, I still use the 300GD [.454 version] for elk and big bear and if I get a chance at moose or buffalo.

You need to buy the following so this does NOT happen again to your valuable time/data (you have hundreds of hours into documents and data on your PC--like your taxes-- as well as software installed, yata yata):

1) Acronis TrueImage Home, which you can buy here for $35:

2) External USB drive, such as this for < $100:

(I like Seagate because they have a 5 year warranty)

You can of course buy a bigger drive, but in most cases the 120G is enough for your C: and your data. Back it up with a full image. Instructions on how to do that are here:

So if you buy Acronis and a USB backup, you will not have this happen to you again. Do it now, it is only $100 and it will save your butt the next time it happens.

Or just back it up on to a CDRW.

Gleason is giving some very good advice. Newegg often puts sale prices on Acronis, sometimes in the low $20s.
