Steve, We have not finalized a room yet for the installfest, I hope it will be sometime in the next 2 weeks. Addressing your specific problem, it depends on how you backed up your drive. Could you tell us the method you used, or software. Without that we can't give you good advice. If it's really urgent we can probably work something out I think this is what the LERT (Linux Emergency Response Team) is supposed to do, it's just been inactive for lack of requests. If you're on campus I can also make arrangements to help you during the week.
