update: as Win chkdsk is running (it's been going for a few hours now) - it's reporting now that it's recovering bad clusters by the dozens - and so far almost all of the look to be ebook files in my calibre library folders. I don't know how may files are affected yet - but it looks to be in the hundreds maybe (out of thousands of ebook files) - mind you it's not every single file - but a smattering of those library files.
So my question to anyone who might know - is it possible that the files got copied to my netbook's HDD and were corrupted in the process? (they were copied from a USB external HDD - and I did have some problems with that HDD getting things to copy over - mostly I thought due to filenames/paths that were too long - but maybe it was a bigger problem?)- I don't know - but I imagine that even if you had some sort of file copying error from the source to the destination that although the file might be corrupted and not usable - I'm guessing that chkdsk wouldn't bee that files' cluster as being 'bad', would it?!?
It seems like this smacks of a HHD hardware problem - but I don't want to jump to that conclusion if it's incorrect. Anyone have any words of wisdom for me?!
thanks!
