My mistake (rm in /dev)

Hello guys!

I was trying to setup dvd player/cr writter (LG combo), when I unknowingly deleted my /dev/hdc.

I was trying do make a new link from /dev/dvd to /dev/hdc,
but /dev/dvd was pointing to /dev/sr0, so I had to remove it....

the mistake: rm /dev/hdc [enter] --->Oh sh....!

What can I do to recover my /dev/hdc?

Thanks!
