When you say manually uploaded discs, did you not import the disc through the import cd disc dialog or did you rip the disc some other way ?

Did you upload the 25 discs using the singers disc button on the main hoster screen ?
If so that would explain why they no longer appear as that is a tempory import button for importing the odd song at a show and is lost as soon as you reboot the computer.

How did you delete them, through Hosters Edit dialog, Remove folder from the import dialog or through windows explorer?

Why didn't the software see these songs before deleting the whole data base? I'm more confused than ever??
What type of files do these folders have in them, kma or kmh types ?
IF they are a kmh type and you open the folder in explorer, you should see an "ImportedFiles.txt" file, this is a record of all the files already imported, you could try deleting this file then see if it finds and imports all the tracks. It does not have this .txt file in the kma type folders.

I'll leave it at that for now see how you get on.
