Pro Tools LE System- Missing Audio Files/No Relink

[Ericka]

I am experiencing a major problem. First, I have recorded a session without experiencing any problems. Before closing the session out, we saved the file. When opening the session over again, the only track that was visable was the "beat". The vocal tracks where there, but shaded gray. It mentioned that the audio tracks were missing, but when we tried to relink automatically, nothing happen.

Also to consider, there are multiple copies of this session (with the same name) located in different drives (incl. external hard-drives). This was recorded from the version that was on the desktop.

I have an ASCAP Conference to attend tomorrow and need to get the vocals back...

One more thing, a copy was dragged onto the desktop and when it would not play it was thrown in the trash bin. The trash bin was emptied. However, the original information was not deleted, only the copied information.
