My Harddrive has a hole in it � Can you help
Help: NT File has been moved or removed???

We are running WinNT 4.0 SP1 i386 and are having the weirdest of problems.
Folders are being wiped out for no know reason, one minute they are there �
then they are not.  At first you can see the folders listed in the tree,
but when you tap on it, you get the message "File has been moved or
removed"
