I was backing up an album (22 gigs) the other day to another drive and what i am guessing happened is that the firewire drive disconnected during the transfer, and the os randomnly deleted the entire album from the source drive. (AAACK) I was able to revover just about everything except one file. i am wondering if there are any other people here who have experienced this and if so is there a fix so it doesn't happen again? I have os 10.5.3 I have had one other friend with a similar experience.

I am trying to figure out if it is a software glitch or a hardware glitch. It doesn't make sense that the mac would delete the files from the source drive. let alone all the files included in the copy command.

What really bothered me about the situation was that the mac os put a folder on the drive called "lost+found" which, i'm assuming the creation subsequently overwrote an audio file, causing this randomn "Cssshhhheee!". (insert white noise at 0db sound effect here)

Sorry about the off topicedness of this post but File recovery is definitely a big part of the music engineers woes.
