Kontakt Problem

After reformatting, (WIN XP SP3 – Cubase 5) Kontakt 4 doesn't seem to load my "custom" instruments into some projects. By "custom" I mean wav files like a breakbeat I had dragged and dropped into the mapping zone then sliced and processed with Kontakt. I hadn’t saved those wav files as nki. (at least not manually, I don’t know if Kontakt had automatically) since they were playing into the project anyway.

I backuped my cubase project folders and after reformatting I try to open them but Kontakt wont load those instruments. No instruments, no "missing samples" warning so I can point to a new folder with the wav files in, nothing. Is this supposed to happen? I do have the wav files I had dragged into Kontakt upon first working in the project but no nki. files or monoliths or something simply cause as I've said I haven't made any in the first place (unless Kontakt created those anyway automatically and hided them somewhere, if so where can I find them?). Kontakt used to load every wav as instrument in Cubase just fine but not after reformatting and reinstalling.

Is there anything I can do? Thanks.

sounds like another typical aweful NI problem.
