Images in folders are gone...?
Need some major help here. Can’t find anything else via Google.
Computer setup: did a clean install of Vista x64 in January with a new hard drive on a new machine. Moved the older hard drive to be a second drive (E: ) on the computer to store my mp3’s and jpg’s. Family images were stored in a folder on the Public drive of the old machine, so we kept that nomenclature on the x64 install, just pointing the My Pictures folder to the e:\users\public\My Pictures folder, instead of C:\. On Public because we share this drive out with the laptops on the network.
Installed Windows 7 RC on Wednesday using the upgrade feature. Only hiccup was that I had to uninstall Windows Live OneCare to continue the upgrade.
Everything seemed to go smooth as a bell and I’m loving it. Wife went to go save the most recent pictures of Jr. and freaked – all the folders of the images are there, but not a single Jpg file. All are gone. Every one of our 150 or so folders are present, but all of the images in the sub folders can’t be found.
Loaded up Windows Live Photo Gallery and the folder structure showed up, the icon’s of the pictures showed up for a brief second and then poof – they disappeared with the “No items match your search.” All of my music files – and those related JPG’s are there, so it’s not like someone or something went in and said “Delete *.jpg”. All of the movies in that Public folder are there as well.
What in the world happened? Please – I’m desperate – any and all suggestions here would be grateful –
