ok, some random glitch has affected one of my drives and now some of the folders are showing the "no filetype recognized" icon and basically it's not a folder anymore. obviously this means that there's a load of files i can't get to and so far my attempts at recovery have failed.
so if anyone knows ANY little tool or anything that can detect and rebuild folders/architecture then please shout out, some of the files that are now either not there/lost forever were sadly pretty important :(
edit: the drive info shows hardly any space being used, so sadly it looks more likely that they're simply deleted rather than "glitched into unavailability" :(

thy are indeed gone.
it looks like just being a massive piece of random bad luck, but apparantly i`d managed to get nailed by a virus or somethig that rewrote my partition table. a friend of mine helped me get back most of my work. it`s a bit of a mess but at least it`s not gone forever.
i`ve reinstalled everything now (and the first thing i installed was Star Wars battlefront, which previously had a software conflict and crashed on the last level, so i thought i`d finish it while the system was clean :D
... it wasn`t worth it :( ) and am making sure this time to get as much virus protection as i can, i could do without the heart failure.

What happened to the drive?
Sounds like they're gone.
