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.

There's hope. Try recuva (works on windows). Stop using those drives. No data is deleted, ever. Only the spaces is marked as available, and data is overwritten. While we are at it, this also means that if you really want to delete a file the actual process is overwriting it several times and then do the OS "deletion". There are tools for that too, most are aptly named as file shredders. Good luck!

I did end up using recuva and it was able to recover about 3/4 of it. A lot got corrupted somehow. But I was able to save myself some downloading. Still no idea what caused it.
