Recently, I was dusting a shelf in my office and accidentally knocked my 160
GB, Maxtor external drive on the floor......about a 6" drop.

I was suitably horrified, but was pleased to see that everything seemed
O.K.; however, when I tried to open one large folder (pictures) it wouldn't
open. I rebooted, and the folder was gone!

I checked folder properties to ensure I hadn't hidden the folder, but to no
avail. It almost seems like it fell out of the drive when it
fell.................any suggestions or ideas?

The only thing I can think of is that it damaged the hard drive-the folder
then may have been on bad sectors.

Any chance there is a backup?
