Okay, so several weeks ago, the hard drive on my laptop decided to suffer a hardware failure; basically, it won't start up, and as such I can't get to the files on it.
Most of my files were saved to an external drive (thankfully), but there were a decent number that had not yet been backed up.
Because the laptop is still dead, I am left using my account on the family desktop, which isn't available nearly as much.
Thus, my project of organizing and filling up my favourites folders is on hold until I get my laptop up and running again.

As a side-note, data recovery from hard drives seems to run in the $600 - $1600 range (U.S. dollars). *choke*

I don't know if you solved this issue so far but, if you haven't, you could consider just opening the dead laptop, extracting the HDD and plug it into your desktop pc to recover the files on it. Unless the problem is the hdd itself.
