Strange files showed up on my memory card

[idbl_fanatic]

Ok, so I rebooted my phone, and it was acting strange, and saying that programs couldn't start up. When I went into my memory card, I found the following:

Folder:
Empty with strange characters

Files:
arker.tx.t 1.7G
8u` 38K
1nCo 112MB
+(square)(g(strange characters)Q and a bunch more strange characters 323 MB

And a LOT of my files were missing. I rebooted a couple more times, and everything was back but those files are still ther, and I can't delete them, and my laptop wont see the card anymore

It sounds like the FAT table is corrupt. It may now be using a backup Fat table but that will have no proper record of the files created at "crash-time" using the original table. This can lead to the problems of deleting the corrupt files.

I know you say your PC wont see the card but do you mean VIA AS or in a card reader?

If you can connect to the PC via AS and using the explore function on AS (PC) copy the good files to PC and then reformat the card. Then put the files back

If AS won't see the card can it see it using a card reader?

I think it risky to continue using the card without re-formatting it.

Hi,
I have the same problem with my HTC Touch HD blackstone running WM 6.1 pro - corrupt FAT table on memory card (SanDisk 8Gb) showing strange files:

This is the expected behaviour that now and then, after a soft reset or power off the MC gets corruped?? - isn't a way to prevent this? - without regular MC data backup?

Thanks
