Something is eating away at my files on my new Maxtor 160gb in this particular folder.
Subfolders in Undecoded Folder:
art
ebook
home_video
jokes
movies
mainstream
various_clips
web_content
Subfolders in Various Clips:
Commercials
Jackass
Punkd
Sports
First, all of the folders in Various_Clips disappeard. The folder only contained 2 files, I never saw before, that had names containing special symbols. They were 1.8 & 3.2 gb. I assume those 2 files were a conglomeration of the folders that used to be in Various Clips.
The next day, 3 of the subfolders in Undecoded, including Various_Clips, were converted to 32k files with the same name. They have no file extension. Opening them in notepad only reveals garbage.
Free Space has not changed, so I assume my files are still there.
Now here have been my actions:
1. Norton Virus found and deleted W32.HLLW.Winur.B

2. Defraged hard drive using XP, which according to the graph, was necessary.
3. Norton virus no longer found viruses.
4. Norton Disk Doctor diagnosed and made repairs.
When I booted into WinXP after repairs, another folder in Undecoded was converted into a 32k file, so it seems as though the problem persists.
Norton System Info sees a Found.001 folder in the root of the drive. It has many File.00#.chk files in it.
Screencap of Undecoded folder is attached.
ANY IDEAS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED???????
