Windows became unbootable; I got a Blue Screen of Death whenever I tried to boot it. I panicked and called tech support for my computer manufacturer, and (surprise, surprise) my warranty had expired. I paid $50 to hear that I had to reinstall Windows and lose all my files.
Wow, that's a real shame. It sounds like you didn't override your Windows partition, so you might have been able to use a Live CD to recover your files. I recall last year using my dual boot instructions which I found on the 'net, and there was a warning about a change that would stop Windows from booting. Apparently using the Windows repair disk would have solved that. It didn't happen to me though. I can definitely understand why you would have been turned off, but it's good to hear you got Trisquel installed okay in the end (despite losing all of your files).
