No idea what happened there.
When you say that you trashed your documents folder, do you mean the whole folder and not just some of the contents? The documents folder contains a few bits and pieces for programs. Just wondering if they could have caused this problem.
Does the external drive appear on the desk top?
Disconnect the second monitor for a while and check the second drive is mounted. If you have something like DIsk Warrior, it would be an idea to run that on the external.

I was hoping someone might have some advice with regard to recovering my missing folder. Today I was working on final cut pro, and an alert came up saying I was running out of space. So I copied my documents folder of 13 gigs to my external drive. After the transfer was completed I confirmed the docs folder was there and went ahead and deleted the original off my internal drive. I am working on a powerbook 1.67 ghz, and I have a second monitor connected. Shortly thereafter both screens flashed blue, went dark then came back, but only they were mirrored. I saved my project, quit all apps and restarted. After the reboot my monitors were still mirrored, so I went into preferences and unchecked the mirror option.
Now my folder is nowhere to be found. However, I think the space it is taking up is still being calculated.
I ran data rescue on my internal drive , in hopes of retrieving the deleted original doc folder.
After the thorough scan nothing seemed to happen.
I selected show report, then report file/folder info, and the program crashed. I am now running a thorough scan on the external drive.
Does anyone have an idea why this is happening?
thanks.
