Chkdsk just decided the best way to fix a SmartMedia card with FAT errors was to eat the directory, and then go "Hey! Lost clusters!". I know have 500 of the things in a directory named "FOUND.000" instead of 64 megs of photos in a directory named "DCIM\100OLYMP".

... that's 64 MEGS of my photos you just ATE, you worthless program! Now I've got to piece together filenames and photos from a bunch of 4k and 144k files.

lol, im sorry, its nasty to laugh...but someone has too

last time i ended up with a folder called FOUND.000 i left someone else to go sort it all out into its little folders again....ah the wonders of helping people when their machine screws up

Yes, but mine went and filled the .chk files with random junk. I have directory entries in the first 4k file (cluster size is 4k), and no file is bigger than ~180k. Average photo size is 700k. Funfunfun
