Agggghhh!

I was trying to rename a folder within the local files display of Dreamweaver. I was tring to rename a folder called 'Flash' to 'flash'. It warned me that a folder with that hame already existed, but then all my attempts to rename it to its original name or any new name failed, and then just completely out of the blue, the folder was GONE. I can't find it anywhere. It's not in my trash folder or ANYWHERE.

this happened once before several months ago, but the consequences weren't critical... this time they truly are disasterous... I NEED my files back......

I don't know what to do... I cannot find any reference to any similar incidents onthis site or anywhere online.

Has nobody else ever experienced this? Does anybody know how i could recover my files or where they even went to?

Notes/Information:
I am using dreamweaver MX 2004 on a Mac OS 10.3.9.
I have searched my entire computer many times over for my files.
My site root folders are all on an externam HD.
DW 2004 is currently unsupported my adobe support.
Obviously I will never use this renming protocol again.
I submitted a bug report to DW because i am able to reproduce this problem many times over*...

I am having a hard time gearing up to redoing months of work over-night, and trying to explain to my client what happened...

Thankyou in advance of some responses and solutions, and for not chiding me for not backing up my files....
