Thousands of songs, fucking gone, songs I paid for, made, acquired from artists, years of building up my library with good music fucking gone. I was mega-pissed, and I wanted to dig up Steve Jobs and piss on his corpse. Apple is probably the least user friendly company on the face of the Earth.

They're more than likely still there, you just needed to make the drive 'bootable' so you could see the %appdata% files, or in other words the "User" files. I keep all my personal files on an external hard drive, and can open them from pretty much any machine. When creating a networked drive for multiple PC access, I create a new folder directly on the C: drive, which I map to, which is also easily recoverable with a USB cable when you need to pull the hard drive. iTunes uses the boot structured "User" files (which is where multiple user accounts come into play) to store their data files, which generally keeps the novice user out of their inner workings so as to not screw anything up.
