Thanks, conception and aj, for picking me up.

middleson, follow their instructions to get your game copied over and set back up. The only thing I will add is that the backup procedure can be much less time-consuming (copying all those thousands of text files from PC to USB must take a ton of time).

The reason is this (and this is what I do): When the backup is done, you can use WinZip to zip down that folder into one compressed file. Copying that zip file from your PC to the flash drive is much faster. Should anything happen again, you copy it back to your hard drive, unzip it where it's supposed to go, and your game is back in action.
