are you working on a mac?
were all your file names 8 characters or less? this can cause all sorts of havoc when you connect it to a computer.

i have had this happen before but i can't remember exactly what caused it.

well you f*ed up there.
windows just destroyed any files that had the same first 8 chars.

one thing to try, if there were not any similar named files, is to rename them on the mpc to what you think they should be.

however if multiple files had the same first 8chars, they are gone.

always save all files with 8 characters or less - this is a hard habit to get into because by default the mpc names some things really long (for example when you split a stereo file to mono).
