Files dissapeared


Hi, I am using a dual boot XP/Kanotix6-2004 Hard drive install.
I have 4 partititions on the hard drive,
5 Gb Primary FAT32 for XP
5 Gb Primary Raiser for Linux
768Mb Extended SWAP
~49Gb Extended FAT32 Data

So, I always keep windows hybernaded, cause then it starts almost immediatly.
I was using Linux last night, and captured some audio off a shoutcast stream, (some awesome stuff), and moved it from the desktop directory to /mnt/hda5/Audio (Audio directory on my 49Gb FAT32 Data drive).
Today I load windows to transfer those files to my main PC, go to that directory, and the files are not there. So I restart back in Linux, go to /mnt/hda5/Audio and.. those files are not there. How did they just dissapear? There was no error msg when I dragged em over, and selected Move in KDE... Where did my files go?> I searched for the names, and none were found? How do I retrieve them?

When you dragged & moved them, did you see
the other stuff that already lives in Audio?


Cheers,

No, I just opened the mnt/hda5/ so I saw the folders in the base directory, but I didn't actually open the Audio directory, I moved the files over it, so it would move them into it, but never checked

I was just wondering whether Audio is the actual mount-point,
and whether the drive might have been un-mounted at the
time you did it, which obviously isn't the case :/

No other ideas, then, sorry ..


Cheers,
Tink
