I signed on to my computer about 45 mins. ago but when I turned the thing on it kept giving me a pop up window saying that I didn't have my personal settings set up for Windows XP (which is what I am running and have been running for the past 6 years since I've had this thing). Anyway, it runs all the settings and when I go to look for my favorites everything was wiped clean. All my pictures are gone, my music is gone. It's like the hard drive was wiped clean. I just don't understand what happened because I didn't do a system restore. I just shut the computer off this morning when I left for work and then I come back to this.

WTH happened????? Anybody got any ideas?
