  yea some of them tried to help last nite. Then one person told me to do the partition thing before reformatting and now my PC is dead
  I called another person, said he would be here today at 9am, I purposely set alarm and woke up early to wait for him, waited until 11am, still no sign of him. Message him and call him, but no reply.
  
  So now am feeling very pisssed off.

  if any of your friends is good with IT, can rig your HDD to theirs and copy out the stuff you wanna save...
  
  then do a total format and start from scratch..
