Windows Forum / Windows XP / New Users / September 2006What could be the cause of the lost folders?
I have a physically separate 250 GB DO-drive (Western Digital). It was working fine. A few days ago, almost all data on DO-drive (105 GB) were simply disappeared from DO-drive. About 200 MB data were on the DO-drive. By using Easy Recovery program, I found that all of the data (105GB) were recovered from D:\Lostfile folder. The recovered data were fragmented with different folder/file names, which requires too much work to sort them out. . I gave up working on these recovered data. My question is what could be the cause to lose almost all data on D-drive. I have no clues to this problem. My computer has been running just fine and is run by WinXP Pro SP2. I did not detect any problem with my computer or hard drives. Regards, Craig Not familiar with DO-Drive. Is this and external USB Drive? If so, do you have it set to flush data and write when disconnected? >I have a physically separate 250 GB DO-drive (Western Digital). > It was working fine.

Regards, > Craig I would use the Western Digital Diagnostics tool and check the drive. You may have a bad spot that only causes you problems on the drive when data is stored in that block. Once access, the block causes the drive to lose it's mapping information. I have this happen on an oldddddddd system ... once I reach a certain part on the drive, I lose information. > There was a typo; please read D-drive instead of DO drive. > Craig [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >> did not detect any problem with my computer or hard drives.
