Hello everyone,
Not sure if this is the best place, but I hope someone can save me!
I have a folder called Vista on my NAS mapped in Vista as Z:\. Inside that folder are sub-folders, one most importantly called \Documents. This is where the 'Documents' tab under Vista was pointing to.
To cut a long story short, I needed to move where 'Documents' points to from Z:\Documents to \\NASDrive\Vista\Documents\. Vista initially processed this and asked if I wanted to copy files, replace files or basially neither. As (in my mind) I wasn't actually changing the location I selected neither. Problem is, I cannot see any documents folder on the NAS and most importantly I cannot see any of my documents anymore. Not good.
I'm stuck and really quite worried as there are a couple of documents on there I really, really need. I've turned the NAS off for now so that nothing more can be done on the internal drive. I think the NAS uses a Linux-based system (?) but I really don't know anymore than that. Are the files sitting there but hidden? Can be they be recovered? Surely they've not disappeared into the ether?
The missing folder/files aren't in the Windows Recycle Bin which doesn't surprise me as I believe Samba file systems don't work in that way.
Any help would be gratefully received.
Regards,
Rich
