First, What version of media player are you using...10 or 11? Your problem is that you deleted the music files from the my music folder. Windows media player doesn't automatically know that you moved your music. you need to point the player to where your music is. To do this you need to: A. Open Media player B. Select the Tools menu and go to options C. A new box will appear, Select the Library tab D. Select Monitor folders E. A new box will appear, Select ADD F. Find your drive that you stored you music on and select the folder G. You new folder should be in the list and windows media player should now monitor the activity of that folder and automatically had your music files!

Can you access the drive to retrieve files? Try connecting the My book to another USB port.
