Default Disappearing Files?

Okay, so this has happened a few times before and I kinda shrugged it off each time, but now it's getting annoying. Today I burned just a regular audio cd and it did that just fine, but then after I went and scrolled through my windows media player list only to find that 2 of the songs from the album I just burned disappeared. I went and checked the actual folder that the said songs were supposed to be in and sure enough they were gone as well. Now this has happened before a few times and it wasnt always after a cd had been burned. One time I threw a number of songs on a play list in windows media player listened to them, tried to go back to a few and they wouldnt play, and i did the same as mentioned above(checked windows media player and the folder for the files and saw they were gone). Anyone know why this would happen?

If your not careful with WMP, and not paying close attention to the dialogue boxes it will delete files from the drive. It's happened to me as well.

I suggest that you use a proper cd / dvd burning software like these two freeware one's I recommend.
