Hello

I apologize for the offtopic but

I just dont know where I could write about it.

The problem seems a serious one And somebody may well have had the same

and could show the direction to seach


The problem is that XP has a kind scandisk prog which runs before the
system startup
if it finds sth wrong with the disk.

as a matter of fact it does find sth wrong and

on the screen appears : unrecoverable error bla-bla

convert folder to file? (the prog asks and it answers itself!!!! YES)

so after this there is no more data in the folder

that's the result!!!
thus the windows destroys data

has anybody ever had the same problem
and where to go to get the solution etc

Thank a lot

and sorry again for offtopic

You really should post this to a Windows group. As long as Windows
scandisk leaves EXT3 partitions alone I don't think any of us really care
what it does. If Windows want to run a file system obfuscator on it's NTFS
partitions that's fine, it's another Windows feature.
