I have a HTC Touch running WM 6.1.  I really like the new user interface on Data Recovery.  I am having the same issue with Data Recovery that I have with Pocket Mechanic Pro.  It detects errors on my memory card but does not fix them.  What I see on the memory card using file explorer or on my PC with Active Sync is bogus file directory entries on the memory card.  The files have bad names, bad creation dates, and sizes that make no sense.  The files in question do not really exist.  What happens when I run ScanDisk is it shows 8 files with “Invalid EOC” but later says “Failed to fix corrupted chain”.  It finishes sometime later and says “No Bad Sectors Found”.  When I try to delete these file entries Windows tells me they can not be deleted.  Does anyone know what I need to do to get these bogus file directory entries deleted?  The good news is they do not cause any problems other than looking silly.

Thank you,
Dennis

Hi Dennis,
Not all errors can be fixed automatically. Bogus names usually indicate serious errors. Can I email you with a debug buld (~5MB) that will create a log file - I will be able to give more feedback after I look at the errors in the log file? Thanks!

Anton I would be happy to install the debug code and to gather as much diagnostic info as possible.

Dennis,
Email sent. I will post our findings once we get our hands on that log file!

Thanks!

Anton-
I too had a problem with corrupted chains failing to be repaired.  I have a Samsung SCH-i730 running WM5 and scanned a 4GB SDHC card.  The scan found two files with corrupted chains and claimed to have repaired them.  Instead however the files simply vanished from the directory (they’re not in the root of the card either).
