enklus Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 :blink: My trusty old hd is playing tricks on me! I have a folder which contains txt-files only. Suddenly, ten minutes ago, all txt files dissapeared, but the folder is 5,83GB :huh: And another folder containing 1 -"one"- picture tells me it's 13,43GB :laugh: Time to trash the old ba5tard :( , or is there anything to remedy this ?? I've got XP installed on the other hd, but the mbr is on this one - will this pose a problem Luckily I managed to copy all my essential stuff over to my other hd (no, not that stuff - that's safe and secure somewhere else :ninja: :whistle: ) thanks a bunch!!! magne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
