Computers must be of one the biggest causes of this type of frustration. You are not alone! I've spent days trying to fix laptops - only to end up back where I started. :(

That's the worst that can happen Coco. :(
I always make sure I back-up my photos. Perhaps you should buy an external hard drive?
