THE GAME HAS CRASHED MY HARD DRIVE !!

You're welcome. :)

Sounds like a coincidence. You might be able to convert your drive to a slave drive and retrieve your data from it.

I don't think it is a coincidence. I believe part of your problem has to do with Securom. I have had some issues with Securom on my computer recently. It has messed up my DVD-Rom and corrupted my hard drive. I have just recently started learning about the program that EA sneaks into their games; and other companies that I buy games from do, too. The several games that I have on my computer with Securom have been a computer cancer for my system. You may want to educate yourself, and you may not think this is your problem, but here are a couple of sites dedicated to Securom issues, if you would like to check it out.

Her problem had something to do with her BIOS.

I am not the smartest person in the world and I could be completely off of the mark here, but here goes it for me at the risk of making an ass of myself.
One of the many problems my poor computer had with securom was in its start-up (Doesn't that have to do with BIOS?). Securom was initializing at start-up and trying to do, well I don't know, something. I first learned of Securom by opening my Task Manager and looking up the different processes online. Then I was directed to my registry and found this program I had never installed on my computer. I did virus sweeps and found nothing, I tried to delete it and couldn't. In the meantime I kept having more and more problems. I found removal software and got rid of it. Everything seemed great after that. Then I put in my Sims game again. Problems returned 10fold. I looked in my registry and Securom was back. My DVD burner quit burning and my resources went down the tube. I removed it, but much of the damage still remained. Securom had altered my CD/DVD software, and some of my Media Center files. I did a full system restore and everything was normal. When I went through and installed my games again I ended up with many of the same problems. I have games other than the Sims that have Securom in them, and I believe the hardcore problems I have stem from conflicts within the different versions of Securom between them.
You see, I am one of those people who go and buy games the day they come out, and install them as soon as I get home from the store. That means that I was also installing the upgrades of Securom in their respective order, too. When I reinstalled my games, I didn't reinstall them in the order I bought them, so I was probably upgrading and downgrading the Securom programs with each overwrite it did of itself, in essence causing massive corruption to said Securom.
Then Securom got pissed at me and my machine and FUBARed it.
All of this is just theory of someone trying to educate myself. Please don't hate me. I am very sorry if I am just being annoying to you; It is not on purpose.
