Alright, I have a very strange problem... I have two harddrives: C:\ and G:\
When I went into G: to check some stuff I noticed that all my files are gone and replaced my some weird folder with alot of random letters and stuff in its title. I got scared shitless because I thought I lost all my files but I noticed that my mp3 player was still working and all music is located on G:

I decided to type in the location where the music folder is and voila, everything was there! I checked more and they are also there... if I type in the directory. So that's a relief... somewhat. The harddrive have been acting strange lately so I figure it's about to die very soon and this latest event is yet another hint that it will.

My question is: Can I do something about this? Is anyone familiar with this type of problem? I mean, I can load stuff, save stuff and open stuff. But when I click on G:, there's nothing there... just that one weird folder with tons of letters and numbers. Maybe revert the system back a few days or... whatever.

Right click on the drive, highlight properties, and goto tools tab and run the error-checking (scandisk) program. If your drive really is dying, a restore won't do squat. I suggest you back-up your important files while you still can.

Alright thanks! I thought it was better to ask before I did anything.
Went and bought an external HD to copy all the backups to, then I'll try what you suggested.

If you're able to, might as well reformat it at this point.
