    i dont know how this happened, or if it means the harddrive is as good as garbage, but...

    i bought season 2 of Lost and right away started ripping/backing it up so that the originals dont get scratched.

    everything seemed to work ok i guess (although i couldnt just use shrink like with the first season, so i used ripitforme) and the other strange thing is that the burned disks wil not play on my hp laptop with vista (although they play on my desktop with win-xp) but that is not the issue im asking about.

    the really strange and weird thing that happened is that somehow, the ripping process destroyed almost all of my avi files on the same hard-drive. (i had some movies, documentaries, and episodes of shows which i converted to avi previously, and now when i try to play those i have 20 minute versions of LOST!) ?!?!?!?!?!?!

    can someone make sense of any of this?

    thanx
