Unless you have a solid state hard drive, never hit your pc! A standard disk type HD (which most of us have, since solid state drives are top dollar yet) has several platters which are read by a set of needle like arms(almost like a record player). So when you kick, hit or drop your pc while it's powered up, you can actually jam the drive.
I have messed up a couple drives buy just moving my tower and setting it down a little harder then i should have. Laptops hard drives have several features to eliminate hd failures of this type. When i did computer repair i could never stress enough to back up your files at least once a month.
However, if your drive is not working in the pc cause of missing window files or have bad sectors on the hd then it may be possible to hook it up into the tower as a slave drive extract the files to disc or flash drive. You would need a new or alternate drive for the master and have an operating system installed before you would be able to do that though.

At least burn your music to DVD or something! 160 gig of music is a shit load to lose! I back all mine to DVD and then store the DVD's in a secure place out of the sun. But damn man 160 gb is a bunch of DVD's too!
Better safe then sorry though IMO

The longer you wait the more you collect. The more you collect the harder/longer it gets!
