G4 Madness

Hi there, I have a G4 powerbook with 512 mb ram and over 60 gigs of space on the hard drive. When I booted my computer the other morning, the finder had reverted to its original settings. Everything on the desktop had disappeared, including all my e-mails and personal settings. Most of the material on the hard drive did not appear to have been affected, some files missing, no pattern, just random files. I ran diskwarrior, from another computer my own wouldn't run the software, but to no avail. There did not appear to be a problem with the hardware. One thing I did find which I had not made was a sparseimage which had appeared out of nowhere. It has 3.01 gigs and nothing else. I am unable to open it. Can anybody help me ???
 
I have not idea how to resolve this but have experienced the same type situations ever since 10.3. I feel this is certainly a deletion or preference files but don't yet see why they are being remove or emptied

Did you, at any point, turn on "FileVault?"

Guilty as charged, however it has been operating without a problem for the last few months. When the problem occured I switched it off. The problem still remains and I have lost all my settings, emails and desktop folders.
