Greetings.

Today I booted up a working computer and found that the picture on the desktop is missing, like all files. BUT all folders remained. Further inspection showed that files were missing from the entire /Users/%username% directory, selectively. Some .txt, .tiff, .psd remained, all the pictures and office files disappeared, but the file structure was saved there too. The Downloads folder contains executables, archives and ini.

Windows 7 Ultimate system. A couple of weeks ago, I installed a Samsung 830 128Gb SSD in my computer and cloned the system onto it. Could it be the SSD? What other options might there be?

Have you already checked for viruses?

Are there any events in the OS logs that can be associated with this incident?
