Hail!
I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2 and I've found some peculiar errors relating to file storage on my HDDs.
The Problem: At a certian point in the past I placed some image files (PNG & JPG) on my HDD. Some of these files are viewed regularly and some I access perhaps once a month. While recently trying to access these files, Windows tells me that it cannot open them or that those files don't exist files even though it can tell me the name, size and date of creation. It gives me no errors while trying to defrag the disc, but I cannot move or delete those files. Also, both the frequently used files and the unused files display this problem.
The Question: WTF is going on? Is it a Virus or Windows? Also, How can I recover and/or prevent windows from screwing up if indeed it is the culpret?
