Hi,

I'm running 7 Home 32-bit on Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 machine with 4 GB or DDR2 RAM and ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics card.

I have a 400 GB HDD (C), a 600 GB HDD (E) as well as a 1.5 TB Iomega external HDD (F).

All program et cetera are stored on C, and any download stuff is kept temporarily on E. I then move anything I want to keep and backup onto F (external).

I had download around 200 files, each ranging from 300 MB to 550 MB. However, not long after I'd moved them onto my F drive, they went missing. 200~ files... Completely gone. I definitely hadn't deleted them or anything. They took a long time no find and obviously to download, so this is a bit annoying.

Any ideas what might have happened, how to prevent it from happening in the future and how (if at all possible) to retrieve the files?

Thanks for reading,

Steve
 
Make sure you always 'safely remove device' before you turn off/unplug your external HD. I've seen file go poof when this is not done.
