About the Lost and Found directory
Authored by: daybrother on Aug 02, '04 12:12:24PM
I have run across these folders before on severely corrupted disks but a reformat and reinstall always worked fine. I admit to having not read the documentation but I don't think their appearance on the scene means your HD is physically toast (if that is what you imply). The first time I saw them they were created after I ran a repair with DW of all things and I correctly assumed that I should forget about repair and go ahead and reinstall. This was on a Beige with a brand new drive that became corrupted via bad ram after an XPF install of Panther. Just my experience.
