You can use a HD case to plug your HD as an External HD to any other PC...
I don't know if it would work, it's only one more idea to try :)

Thanks very much guys for the quick responses very much appreciated. I will try some of these options out tonight when I get home.
I did forget to mention I have a back up of most of my music but only up until the beginning of July so at the very least I'll loose a months worth of music, but suppose I could contact the sites where I've purchased and ask to re-download.
I didn't want to transfer the files over until I resolved the situation with the missing files/folders first and the hope its not going to do it again.
Thanks again guys.
To stop this kind of thing occuring, I use a freeware windows program called Syncback. With this I backup weekly to an external harddrive and also via ftp to the unlimited webspace I get with my website.
So even if a fire or thief trashes all my hardware, the tunes should be accessible from anywhere.
Probably a good topic for a DJTT article, to be honest.
I just backup all of my music to my home pc as soon as i get it. Now those copys don't have my key data, cue points and grids stored, but i think i'm going to take care of that right now. Thanks djtt's.
This program;

managed to scan and recover an entire FORMATTED partition on a drive that my computer couldn't even READ (just said "bad drive"). Fucking amazing piece of software.
I tried other programs before this one, some just caught some of the files and some didn't even see the drive. But that program... man. I'm not even worried about HDD crashes anymore.
This is the same as the LiveCD I mentioned. Does Knoppix automatically mount? It's not the most noob-friendly thing, but desperate times call for desperate measures.Quote:
One thing I've done before was put in a Knoppix CD and I was able to see some files that my PC said were not there. It's a Linux OS that runs form the CD so you don't have to install anything.
In case you missed this part.
