Me: Now where'd I put that audiobook? Maybe I put it on the external drive.
Maxtor Backup Drive: Haha, folder corrupt.
Me: What, the whole thing?
Maxtor Backup Drive: Yup. Pretty much the whole thing.
Windows: That folder's empty for real though.
Me: Shut up, Microsoft. YOU JUST ATE 450 GIGS' WORTH OF DATA?
Maxtor Backup Drive: Oh. Um, so did you not want me to fail, then?
Me: ARGGHHLBARGLL
Seebs is sodomizing the drive at the moment with his sonic screwdriver. He says the files show up. As to whether they're usable, all is mystery.
I can replace the iTunes stuff (they allow you to re-get lost content) that makes up a good chunk of the lost date. My giant audiobook collection, videos, all the saved images and data I was moving around... not so much.
FUCK.
For once, however, my art, music and comic files are in no danger since they still exist on the main system.

This is going to sound incredibly strange: Do not worry! This happened EXACTLY the same way to ME about a year and a half ago. I don't know how exactly it fixed itself, but it indeedilly did. I didn't touch mine for almost a year straight before I braved the terrifying Corruptor once again. However, when I did come into what I expected to be a file graveyard, the corruptor had been banished and all had been mended. The short of it is I have no advise but wait, but I'm pretty sure things are NOT snafubarroflmao
