I am glad that did it. Now since it has come up with a bad sector (probably in the index) I would check it frequently to make sure nothing else is going bad. Hard drives actually have 2 index files so usually if something happens to one the backup can restore the primary by using checkdsk to move and rebuild it.

i think i have it set up as to when i turned my laptop on, ( main and back-up) it automatically does the checkdisc..but anyway thanks for all your helped..

It's always good to hear the suggestions here have solved the problem.

As an MTU employee, I'm releaved to hear it was not Hoster that caused the files to disappear. One never truly knows until the final cause surfaces. We're rejoicing with you too!
