hi, i wonder if you can help me with my problem too... i also lost my drive "E" after installing a game from "www.doperom.co.uk" after the downloading process, I extract the game format.zip to my desktop to copy it from my folder, and suddenly it causes a massive lag to my computer, after i restart my computer i noticed that my drive "E" got lost? i saw about the add remove prog. and others, but nothing happens? I also look at the search program and there are two locak disk "C"? the other one is "Locak hard driver "C"? What's going on? Pls tell what should i do????

and welcome to the Forum

Try doing a System Restore to a date prior to downloading the junk
