This is the time when a network drive comes handy.

You should keep your master disks in a safe place, and make backups of your files in a different HD - a network one works like a charm.

Also a friend sending you viruses... that is not cool but how come your AV didn't catch it?

I doubt copying and pasting the data folder will help you, if the virus was "smart" enough to delete that folder, you can bet it deleted the registry keys as well so you have 2 options: You find the disk or buy a new one. Now if you lose disks that easily, then buy the downloadable version of it, if you buy it this way, most places "store" your game for over a year... just in case something like this happens to you again.
