I find it hard to believe that all your files were corrupted. I think I would have just backed them up to another disk (or to a CD or DVD) rather than trash them. The fact that the files played correctly when opened from the HD version of BIAB indicates that they were in fact not corrupt, so the problem is most likely somewhere else on your computer.

Perhaps, do you have a hard drive going bad? Have you scanned for viruses? Did you install RealDrums/RealTracks to your computer's local hard disk, or are they still running on the external USB? You didn't happen to install BIAB under "Program Files", did you? Did you try running BIAB as "administrator"?

I think we need more information in order to figure out what the problem might be.

I hope you have a backup somewhere of your own creations, so that you don't have to do the work all over again.
