I think I lost Everything!!!!

The database only stores the location of the KMA files, Artist name, Title and some other information, but not the files themselves. If you edit a song (change something in the title or a characteristic when you hit apply this information is saved to the database and to the KMA file header. With the error message you got it is saying that Hoster cannot find the file to save the new information to. This indicates a problem with the drive not with the database.
Run Chkdsk on the drive to check for problems. If there are a lot of Bad Sectors it is time to replace the drive....quickly. You should have a back-up of all your KMA files to keep this from being a major problem.

Right now I am doing a data recovery to see if I can find the kma files. I am crossing my fingers and hoping to the lord up above that this works but I don't think it will. I just hope that I don't have to start all over again. If that don't work I will go ahead and do what you told me to.

Thank you

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. This should have never happened and I can't understand how it did, when one minute they are all on there and the next they are all gone.

It's called hard drive failure....it happens and that is why back-ups are so important. Hard drives use magnetic media to store information in a tiny area. The problem is the material can deteriorate, the head(s) can get out of alignment, and any number of other problems.

I lost the hard drive in on of my machines last year BUT I had a backup of my KMA's. T and J, you are not alone, just lessons to learn like everything else in life. FATHER (GOD) is awsome and will see that you get through. He puts nothing on us that we can't handle.

I pray that all works out for you!

well I thought that is what the backup log was for. I didn't know. I guess hoster needs to add that to thier ungodly list of things to do. This should have never happened. All my other files on this drive are fine. Just the kma's are gone. I have two other files with everything on them.

Confused as ever!!!!!!!!
