System specs: 1Ghz PIII, PC 133, 256MB RAM, 40 GB HD, Win ME. I have recently built a new computer and i was transfering my data files from my old computer. The one problem i am faced with is, while the old harddrive (3GB) was hooked to the new system i installed napster on my new drive (i figured once napster was on my new drive i could just trasfer the songs to my new napster music file) when i went to get the old files to move over i could not find them. i searched everywhere for the files including using search for .mp3 files and i couldn't find them. Heres the catch i know that they are still on there because i new there were only 250 MB of harddrive space left before i screwed it all up and that is what is left now. FYI- i could access all the files through windows explorer before installing napster on the new drive, and the old drive (3GB) was slaved to the new drive at the time of napster install- both drives have an MSDOS primary partition. All input appreciated.

that royaly sucks!!
have you tried searching for files by name.. like the name of a song in particular perhaps? maybe if it showed one file, it might show where they all went to...in another directory, do you have more than one folder named music ..or my files or something like htat.. do a search on folders named music , my files.. <--?? I dont know either .. just thinking not so out loud
sincerly PsYLaNT

When you did the search for the .mp3 extension did you use a wildcard (*.mp3)? Normally Napster puts downloaded files in the folder
c:\program files\napser\music
try checking there

That is $#?*%& weird....The mp3z are not hidden....Thats the only reson i can think of y they wouldnt show up on the search...And what did u screw all up on? Another thing, if nobody messed with the computer....I think it would have to be the devil then....actually Napster's icon does look EvIL....good luck

Are the files in a compressed folder. I've found that when I search for a file in a compressed folder, it doesn't detect it.

I have checked all of these and to no avail. they have to be on there because like i said the space used up by them is about 1 GB and on a 3 GB drive i would notice if they had been deleted. i don't know what to do ????????
