\n> This is a big problem! I booted up a project last night to do some mixing and there
\n> was nothing on the drive. Thank God the client was not there. There's about 20
\n> songs on this thing, what could make them disappear? I've got about 15 drives,
\n> never lost anything before. Damn, this sucks!!!
\n>
\n> It was fine yesterday morning. I booted down, changed drives and worked on
\n> another project all day. Then in the evening I put this drive back in (definitely the
\n> right drive) and it did one of those not seeing the drive things. I shut down,
\n> reinserted the drive, rebooted and this time the drive mounted, only it showed up
\n> to be totally empty. I wondered if it was actually mounted, so I created a new
\n> file, and yup there it is, the only file on the drive.

\n> I'm actually holding back from panicking, assuming that there's a way back from
\n> this, like the directory is hiding and that someone knows how to get it, but the
\n> sooner that happens, the sooner I'll be able to sleep better.
\n>
\n> Any help for me?
\n>
\n> PS -- I know I know ... BACK UP!!!!! (been waiting very impatiently for the Orb deal,
\n> as I've been totally unable to get the FTP thing going) But please, bypass that
\n> lecture and help me out if you can.
