These has always been my words, but nothing: I lost my Tellico databases
yesterday, when opened to add another CD. I saw the message saying that
"Sorry, I cannot find your databases!"

Tellico files, of course they were. The directory
was /home/user/Documents/Tellico/Databases, the usual place, I think.
But all jpg and videos were in another drive, separated in many
directories. 
And my html file with links to several sites, into /home/user. 
But, what about only certain links to several sites in my konqueror
bookmarks? How do you explain this issue? Not all the bookmarks, i refer
only to four or five links. Don't you think is not incredible and
embarrasing?

> And is the entire directory "empty"?

Yes. Jpg and videos, the whole directory "empty". Nothing at all: it
seemed that Atila had passed by that place...

So what? 
To be honest, any loss have been produced since last week or so, I can't
remember the just number of days. And my system is still the same:
nothing has changed, thank God.

No, no... that's my situation,but other partitions on other drives are
mounted inmediately because my desktop wallpapers are there and I
noticed at once they are not mounted.

I wish all my files were there!!!! But, unfortunately not.

No. They're simply two hard dirves, mounted as ext3 (I leaved using
reiser two o three years ago, when I saw a friend of mine's hard disk
completely corrupted, and I don't like to run any risk).

Nothing. The usual information.

Ok, thanks, my friend. Pleased to meet you. Here, from Spain.
