I just went to watch a movie and my server said it wasn't there, so I went and check the PC folders and all of my movies are gone. Not in any of the recycling bins, not anywhere, just gone. What would have caused this? How do I stop it from happening again? It's been working fine for months then this just happened.

HDDs can randomly crap out and cause some... interesting... glitches as they do. Can you check SMART stats or something? If there's been significant malfunction, it should show up there.

The HDD is less than a year old so I'd be less than impressed if it crapped out. I'll take a look and see what it says.

They are most likely to fail when newish (<1yr) and at age.

It says everything is good. So no idea what the problem is.
