Alright, I had recently bought a 500gb External hardrive for my computer, as
it was low on disk space, and installed it. Everything was, and is still
working fine. What I did was backup my files first, which proved to be
ridiculous as it was really not proving to help the space. So I deleted the
files off the new hard drive, and decided to only add my music files, which
carried around 114gb of space. When I backed those music folders (I had
organized them all intricately by genre, author, etc. It took A LOT of
tedious work) into the new harddrive, I deleted the same folder with the
music files on my old harddrive, by virtue of saving space. I go to check the
space on my new hard drive, and I mistakenly take the space open for the
space closed; thus, I worry and I go to the options of my external harddrive,
which is 'Maxter', and click on a button which is meant to clean up every
file that is 'deleted on the old hard drive but is present in the new hard
drive'. I clicked to confirm the clean up of the files, and it said something
like: 'this process will clean up the drive etc.' and then it sayd 'OK' on
the buttom. By now I had realized that it would be imprudent to carry on with
the deletion, so I gladly closed the window 'without' clicking the ok button,
thinking everything would be fine.
Next thing that happened, my 19,000+ organized music files were GONE! I
tried system restore, and to my surprise, the 'empty' folders had returned,
but NO actual music files.
Any suggestions? I'm in desperate need of help, I really am, I am unsure of
what to do, any help would be much appreciated.
These files were extremely difficult to a) find b) organize c) took a lot of
time.
