Hi Ed
Thanks for the response.
I only had 1 folder on the flashdrive called Aaron which contained 9 subfolders which had all the photos in, and it is Aaron which has disappeared, along with all the subfolders within it. There was nothing else on the drive other than the ‘system files’ which are:
Folder - Club Application 14.6 MB
Folder - My Vaults 17.8 MB
Folder - SanDiskSecureAccess 8.95 MB
Application: RunClubSanDisk 108 KB
Application: RunSanDiskSecureAccess_Win 29.2 MB
Well, I tried checkdisk (gosh its a long time since I used DOS!), anyway the disk seems fine and this is what it said:
The type of the file system is FAT32
The volume is in use by another process. (!!!)
Chkdsk might report errors where no corruption is present.
Volume Cruzer Slice, created…serial number…etc.
Windows has checked the files system and found no problems
31,250,016 KB total disk space
128 KB in 8 hidden files
832 KB in 49 folders
1,347,600 KB in 1,684 files
29,901,440 KB are available.
Tried right clicking recycle bin, I assume it was a right click, properties? Anyway if so, nothing is allocated to the flash drive, only drives mentioned are on the laptop.
No files are quarantined in AVG.
Have safely removed flashdrive and shutdown. Waited about 20 mins, then restarted. Flashdrive exactly as it was.
Still reporting (under flashdrive properties in explorer):
29.8GB Capacity
1.28GB Used Space
28.5GB Free Space
But the ‘system files’ total only 70.8MB, 87 files and 41 folders. This is very different to the 1684 files and 49 folders reported by Chkdsk.
Any suggestions?
Thanx
Manj
PS Sorry about the delay in response, I’m on UK time and have to keep stopping to look after my baby, Aaron!
