    I may be coming in late on this thread, if so, please forgive...

    When the CHKDSK command was issued, did miner@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu happen
to notice if there were any 'lost clusters' reported.  I know that I've
checked my disk space with CHKDSK before and missed the line showing the
amount of space resulting from 'lost clusters'.  ...just a thought...
    If 'lost clusters' does turn out to be the problem, just run CHKDSK using
the /F parameter.  This will recover the lost clusters giving them filenames
of the format 'FILEnnnn.CHK', where nnnn starts at 0000 and increments by 1
for each lost cluster found.  Its then a matter of viewing those recovered
clusters to decide whether to keep the data or delete it.
