UPDATE 2: So we installed the new disk and installed windows 10, and after installing the video driver, the PC still crashed at startup!
This only means one thing: it wasn't the disk, it was the VGA that died. Ahh, nvidia cards... they're so good, but they die so fast.
So here we we are, downgrading my pg again! When I built it a few years ago, I bought a GTX680... only to find out it wasn't compatible with my chipset (beware Gigabyte products guys, beware!). So since the shop wasn't taking it back, and couldn't buy another, I had to downgrade back to GTX460... And now that my GTX died, here I am downgrading it further to a 2008 radeon HD4860... which is still almost good! I'm actually impressed how smooth Dota2 runs. Anyway, after solving this mess... Tadan! My old bamboo fun tablet isn't compatible with windows 10, hooray! No drivers, no pen pressure. 
Back again to windows 7.
Whatever.
I can draw, that's what matters the most. And I don't have a crippled 12 years old Raid 0 to worry about anymore.
For those who doesn't know what a raid 0 is:
RAID 0 splits data evenly across two or more disks, without parity information, redundancy, or fault tolerance. Since RAID 0 provides no fault tolerance or redundancy, the failure of one drive will cause the entire array to fail; as a result of having data striped across all disks, the failure will result in total data loss.
So yes, I needed to get rid of that timebomb asap.

UPDATE: Thanks everyone for your support and donations! It will take me a while to get the commission done (hopefully by the next week my pc will be fixed and I'll be able to draw normally).
To see the commission list and progress, check my profile ID. There is the updated "to do" list.

I never asked for money and I hate to ask for money, but I'm in trouble. My PC died today.
I need to buy a new hard disk, and I need 200 $ to get a SSD.
I don't know for how long I'll still be able to draw (filesystem corrupted after a HHD crash, windows only works on temp. mode and without VGA drivers. HHDs gives errors and I need new discs to be able to format. My 12 years old discs can die every second).
For this reason I need help. If you can donate even 1 dollar it would be absolutely great. For every donation I'll try to draw something. If you are interested in helping me, send me a note and I'll tell you my paypal.

1$ - thanks!
