I have another system that I use just as storage. Upon starting it up today, I have noticed that all information in all subfolders are gone. When going to Start-> All Programs they all say "Empty". What could cause this?! I have not done anything but literally turn the system off and back on at a later time.

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Data/Programs have suddenly disappeared.

I would test the HDD, just for shits and giggles. Download and burn the Hitachi DFT.
If the HDD passes then your users profile may have just gotten corrupted. Make a new one and have a ball!!

Try running Chkdsk, I've had files get lost based upon a small corruption, Chkdsk has fixed the problem and restored the files that I thought were gone).
