What the heck happend here:

Jan,

I'm sorry this caused you hassles, but I'm glad you were able to find out what caused your problem. This is another good reminder for all of us to run backups to ZIP or CD frequently.

Would the console not restart at all after you had this problem?
I'm wondering if it would have been possible to restart and then run a backup.
