Hi all

I just installed a secondary hard drive in my computer. After copying around a third of my music from the old master hard drive to the new slave one, my music folder in the old hard drive is suddenly completely empty. No folders, nothing. Thing is, I can still play every single song in Winamp, so I know they're still actually there. If I type in a certain artist's folder inside the music folder, it comes up with all of the music files there. And folder options are set to show hidden files/folders, so it can't be that.

Has anyone come across something like this before?

Specs: AMD 2800, NForce Mobo, 40 Gig WD IDE Hard Drive, Maxtor Ultra16 PATA 250Gig.

Any replies would be appreciated. :)

edit: the music folder's properties also say that its size is 0 bytes
