Well....If you are absolutely sure you have no backups, your only choice is to start over with a new catalog and importing the images.  If you were writing the XMP files to your image locations you will retain any adjustments you made.  Collections and virtual images will be lost.

What is "loss"?
Did you delete it? If so, is it in "Trash" or "Recycle Bin"?
Or did it become corrupt?

Hi,
I did find a copy of my catalog(with some help), the computer tech got it back from my deleted drive, GOD is good. So everything is up and running.
