I downloaded msn search and while indexing it ran out of space on drive c so
I moved the location to my drive D and then it started moving the index to D.
Suddenly I started getting messages that Windows search has located a problem
and is rebuilding my index. The error messages kept popping up making it
impossible to work so I rebooted and then all my d drive files had been
deleted and only the desktop search files and few other files were left! my
free disk space on D went from 4gb to 22gb and all the files mysteriously got
deleted.
Somebody please help me recover my files!!!

I highly suggest you turn off the computer now till you find a un-delete
program.
Also request support:

I have not used a un-delete program in a long time to point you out in the
right direction. If you signup for my mailing list and post your help for a
un-delete someone will suggest some. Please forgive the theme look I gotta
redo it. www.computertalkshop.com

But why should MSN Desktop search touch my files! There is obviously a
serious glitch in the software which needs to be corrected immediately!
Simply saying that I should use an undelete program is not the solution. I
blame Microsoft for this and I want a solution from them!
Hello - anybody from Microsoft listening!!!

Hi !
I have got the same problem !
After instaling MSN DS on fathers PC, it started indexing, but because there
is not enough space on C:, I set-up program to save index on another drive
(f:). Then (not sure if exactly after this operation or 15 min later) MSN DS
and indexing hangs and soon program terminated itself. Next day I found that
some directories on my drives are unaccessible. To recover data i ran
"Error-checking", (chkdsk) during Windows start-up. It found lots of those
index-stuff errors, some missing files, orphaned files.

The final result of installing MSN Desktop Search is 100MB data damage.
It seems to me we are doing wide beta-testing on program which is supposed
to be in final version :-/ .
