My disc is going out?!?!

OMG. Those are the worst words to hear when you depend on your computer.

My disc is going out in my laptop - apparently why I couldn't get to ANYTHING there. I am literally sick to my stomach. I mean, um..my entire life and photos are on my laptop.

I just want to cry. Hubby is triaging and trying to revive it, but I am afraid for the worst.
