Win XP MCE 2005 suddenly has stopped "seeing" the contents of my stored music folder on an external Maxtor hard drive, instead showing the folder in Win Explorer and in My Computer as empty. Once in a while it shows the contents when I open Win Explorer, but usually not. Running checkdisk doesn't help. Thanks.

I don't have a fix, but a suggestion to back up your the MP3s before you lose them completely.
Oh heck, I'm sure you already have a backup plan in place. ;-)
