I have a hard time imagining how the NVIDIA driver can destroy a disk drive or the filesystems thereon. "Post hoc, ergo propter hoc" does not apply here. Now, if you have a beef with NVIDIA's closed source drivers, that's fine, and you've got lots of company. But it's a *long* way from closed source drivers to a wasted disk or FS. It is simply implausible in the extreme that NVIDIA's display drivers toasted your disk or your filesystems.
