I'm looking at my D Drive. Says 55 Gigs are being used. Cool. But an ENTIRE FOLDER with about 40 gigs of shit just disapeared. I can't find the files using the find thingy, but yet the space is apparently still used up when I check the file properties. Why? I'm about to shoot myself. I ran Scandisk, and it says it found an invalid file name, click OK to fix. But it won't get past 85%. Help. |

Oh. Man. My blood pressure. Somebody better restrain me. I got my files back, but oh man... the folders are so fucked up, all the files are renamed... I am more angry than I have ever been in my life, and I'm so glad I'm home alone because things are about to be destroyed. |

Hmm, I say get and object made of metal, and shove it into the floppy drive and just jam it around until it buzzes. That means it's working. If it doesn't find a nice blunt object to beat it into submission. |

You didn't download the "eightball" skin from Kazaa, did you Ophecks? Whatever you everyone, do NOT get it, it wipes out your mp3s apparently |
||||||||

I don't think will work. It has to be installed before you have the problem for it to be of any help. I'd go find a virus scanner if you don't have one already to see if you have a virus. Or if you happen to have Windows ME or XP, you can use the System Restore (if it happens to work) to restore your harddrive to an earlier state. |

I have my work cut out for me renaming these. Oh man. I'm sure what I did to deserve this. |
||||||||
|

Hasn't got some major back ups of things has it? Its worth checking the C or D drive for major back ups and similar things. |

I'm NOT sure, is what I meant to say. Great. Now even my keyboard hates me. If I had a gun right now, now is about the time that the bullets turn out to be duds, or the trigger locks, or someone comes in and wrestles it away from me before I can paint the walls with brain matter. |

Jay. Know that I love you without measure. Know that. |

You can get a program that renames MP3s en masse.... can't remember the name though, anyone help with that? |
||||||||

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!! I NEED IT!!!! |

what type of file system are you using? FAT, NTFS? What os are you currently using? If youre using a FAT file system on the drive, boot into dos (using a boot disk if youre running an nt based os) and use the dos version of scandisk and that should fix FAT problems without error. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
it sounds to me like its a problem with the file allocation table or something though, if its displaying that space is taken but the files arent named |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I got my files back after Scandisk, all in different renamed folders. I can rename everything quite easily... but... such a LONG job... ugh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
make sure to run a scandisk that checks the disk for physical errors too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
How exactly did this happen? Or is there even an answer for that other than God hates me? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have to rename all these folders. Hundreds of 'em. |
||||||||

heheh... mr. "cds are toooo inconvenient and expensive" is sure kicking himself now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, im going to assume youre running a file allocation table partition and explain it like this theres an area on your hard disk that contains the information about where all the files and directories on the disk are, how big they are, etc its called the file allocation table, if that area of the disk becomes corrupted in some way (physical error, virus, something else) then it cant report the contents of the disk properly and you end up with the problem youre having right now |
||||||||

Golly! :-s |
||||||||
|
|

I have 400 CDs and I ripped half of them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

This happend to me once Ophecks, that basiclly means your HardDisk has an Physicall error, or your harddrive partition is screwed up.....(File Allocation Table) And now for the bad news....one thing you shouldnt do is let scandisk FIX anything......those DIR001 files are Gargbage.....I had to completley FORMAT my Harddrive and was not able to recover any of my files ! I hope you made some CDR Backups......cuz I dont think theres a way to get your files back |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nah, I got them ALL back... and arranged in their original folders, but EVERY FILE was renamed. This is more of an exercise in tedium than anything now. Renaming and stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It could be worse; You could've lost them completely. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
.....yeah......grrr...I hate you Ophecks :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hopefully it's not a virus? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
are the files renamed too or just the folders |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
