Odd files in Root Of Storage Card

[dib_uk]

Does anyone have any ideas what is going on in the root of my Storage Card? (See pic)

Lots of oddly named files have appeared. They cant be renamed, deleted or opened from within either my PPC, via activesink or with a card reader in my XP PC. The dates are very odd too.

I am currently copying all the data off the card so I can format it but was wondering if anyone else has seen this or if they know where they are coming from?

Any info gratefully received!

I got the same problem, but in my camera folder. Same kind of non-sense files appeared and caused my album software to malfunction.

Re-named the folder and created a new "original" and moved my photos there. Everything is working now and I didn't have to format the whole card.

But I too are curious as to why they get created and if there is a clever way to get them removed :)

I had the same problem coused by removing my card without closing my phone. Now I shut down the system first and than remove the card.
