Hi,
I wouldn't do a system restore. It sounds like the FAT table has got
damaged and needs further investigation - as its FAT32 there is a bigger
chance of recovery than on NTFS, because you can do some stuff from a
dos boot disk.

Hi guys
Thankfully I have two drives on my computer which is XP Home. The
smallest one has all my university books and work, and the bigger one
has
backups of these books and work, plus a load of music and audio
described
videos.
The big one is the F drive, and I defragmented this yesterday. There
was
no indication at all that anything was wrong, and I also downloaded
some
priority updates from the Windows Update website.
I turned off the computer as normal, and in turning it on this
morning, I
found that some of my shortcuts didn't work. Then it told me that my
F
drive was not formatted, and when I looked in the properties, it said
0
bites when I knew there was 55 GB of stuff there.
I can't take the computer to the shop today as it closes on a Sunday,
and
although I'm sad at losing all my music and videos, I'm more relieved
that
thankfully I still have all my books for uni and my work, which is
aditionally backed up onto cd. However the music isn't backed up as
there
is so much of it, so I will have to see what if anything the shop can
recover.
Several questions I wanted to ask:
I've run Add Aware and my anti-virus. All fine. So does anyone have
any
idea what could have caused this?
Also, if the stuff has gone and the drive is reformatted by the shop,
should I ask them for NTFS or Fat32? Which is best? The drive was
originally fat32.
I just can't think at all what could have made this happen. One
minute
all the stuff was there and then it was gone.
