Disappearing files
-
Um... time to cry I think... I have gone looking for an entire directory of very important files. I've looked on the network drive, it isn't there. I've looked on the local clone, it isn't there. I've stuck the backup drive in and it isn't there. I've looked in my recent files history and all referencs to any of the files in the directory have disapeared. The documents aren't even on the MRU list in software that had opened them. I made a jpeg of one of the documents to send to a friend over MSN for proofreading, placed on my desktop, which has also gone. It really is as if they never existed! Only I know that they did exist, and I need them back. This is really starting to creep me out because I can find no evidence that they ever existed. Missing from the source drive, my local clone and the backup drive that was cloned only this passing Sunday... WTF is going on? :confused: :((

Have they been quarintined by a virus scanner? Either that or someone is having some fun with you.

You have most likely gone mad, and they never existed to begin with.

The thought has entered my mind more than once now - in fact every time I try to think what the hell could have erased them so effectively them not existing in the first place is the only logical explanation I can find. Except I know I can't be imagining it because I have hard copies in front of me, and they must have come from somewhere. :~

Hmm, are you sure they weren't on a different computer? :-D The generation of random numbers is too important to be left to chance.
:-D Yes I'm sure.

Show the printouts to someone else, asking them what they think. If you get a response along the lines of "yes, blank paper, so?", you might as well just go back to bed.
