Woah...some freaking stuff going on(games disspearing?)
Hey guys, i just noticed this for the second time, im pretty freaked out...this is the case: I have a 250gig WD hard drive, my games keep disappearing off it... like ill come out of a game, and notice my doom3 icon is gone..then when i click it, it says " problem with shortcut". This also happened for two of my hitman games...GHOSTS OR WHAT?!

Please take some time to fill in your System Specs.
You say this happens when you exit a game, or is the game crashing on you? |

O.K., so now we get to what I believed at first. The crashes are corrupting the files.
When is the last time you ran a defrag of your HDD? Are you sure you have your CPU underclocked? Any error messages pop up after the crashes? Had a peek at the Event Viewer (Control Panel>Administrator Tools> Event Viewer>System log & Application log) for more clues. |

check the smart status of your hard drive, and download WD checkup tools and check the status of your drive, it could be dieing. I lost a WD drive due to heat problems, same thing happened to me.
