Hey, I just found out that my one of my hard drives is missing files... I have a round 5GB worth of MP3s on my hard drive. I was about to make a new MP3 CD for myself but windows only reports 900mb of MP3s in the directory and only goes a little in the "a" files. What's funny is that any programs I setup a while ago to use all my MP3s can still access and play them. I even have my wireless laptop setup as a mini-jukebox to play them and I can listen to the songs I can't see or access even though they are listed as being in that directory. Lol... I've just tried a windows search for *.mp3 directed towards my "effected" HDD and windows still only reports the 900MB worth of files. Any thoughts on this?... this is the first time I've had this happen. It seems to be a more of a Windows problems, but I can't be sure. I'd say my HDD is crashing if I wasn't still able to gain access to those files and play them on other programs. Any help is welcome, TK.

...in the mean time I'm doing googles... I wonder if it's related to the Windows Indexing of files to make searches easier? TK.

Still no luck... anyone?? lol... I've found that one of my programs that has an almost list of my MP3s can copy them from the folder to another location. I guess I can use that as a back up. Really though, I need a fix. This drive is a back up drive that has everything. If I'm losing files I need a way to recover them sooner than later. I was running another clone of this drive, but that one crashed about 5 months ago and I haven't had the time or money to purchase another 400GB drive to clone my current one again. I'm mostly worried that since this is starting with MP3, it could migrate to my Wedding photos and other important documents. :( TK.

try use partiton table doctor to fixboot.
