Lost All Sites...Help

I'm assuming the site files are stored localy as well as on your server? If so- link to the folders that the content is in. If not- find out the ftp, and download them so you have a local copy. As for re-inserting your ftp information- if you don't know what it is- then hopefully you can recover the information by emailing tripod.
Why it's done this- I have no idea, unless you have re-installed Dreamweaver, your files shouldn't dissapear- have you checked your machine for viruses lately? Sometimes, when my code just won't behave, I take it outside and make it listen to britney spears music, and when it comes back it's really well behaved. I wonder if it's suffering from post tramatic stress syndrome now..

Damma,
By now you may have recovered from this problem. You should back up your work to tape and Burn copies to Rewritable CD's as a regular practice. CD & DVD Backups my save you from tape failures.
Hope you learned something from this, things like this happen and the stored backups will save the day if your drive fails or a virus wipes you or your ISP out.
Good Luck,
LACITYTech
