I cut/pasted a folder containing movies from my desktop to E drive. The folder in the D drive turns out to be empty. This issue is happening only with folders and not with files. Previously my system was working fine. I have a HP laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, Core i3 processor, 4GB RAM, 320 GB HDD. I checked the HDD for error by running Checkdisk however it looks fine from the results. Please help.
 
Solution
I can't think of any physical issue that might cause this.
Possibly run WinDirStat to verify those files do not exist on the target drive anywhere.

Yes I double checked every time these files went missing. I used to be a Hardware support staff for DELL. Initially I thought it to be an issue with the HDD but it isn't. I would copy/paste from now on but I still feel kinda disappointed not knowing what's wrong with my laptop.
