The title says it all.
Before leaving work, I put a bunch of files on my WD Passport 500gb, and when I got home, none of those files were there.
I immediately thought that it was because of the windows delayed write that didn't occur, since I always just pull out my hard drive, but I got no such message.
The next day, at work, I took the time to remove the drive carefully, then plugged it in again to make sure the files were there, and then I went home with my hard drive. And again! All of these new files were missing! And when I got back to work, they weren't there either.
What happened?
As a precaution, I did a full HDD format, then scanned for hardware errors, before copying my files back on.
Does anybody know what happened, it's as if my home computer is reading another Master File Table or something, or keeping the old version :/
For info, the drive uses ntfs, and OS are XP Pro EN SP(Job2/Home3)
Help?
