What happened was as soon as my PC started, it (for some reason) ran CHKDSK, and proceeded to delete 9GB of files it 'thought' shouldn't have been there. Namely, any files that had appeared in between hibernating and resuming.

So the 9GB just dissapered??? How did that happen? Could it not be retrieved by pluging it in as slave on another machine.

298086 2004-11-30 04:43:00 No, CHKDSK deleted it for good. As I said, I don't think it was expecting the new data -- so it eradicated it. It then tried again to resume from hibernation (after rebooting from CHKDSK, as normal), but failed, and started up normally. When it had booted up, the data was gone :(.
