[quote=framerw47;88427]Hi all, I just joined the forum hoping to find an answer to this problem.

When I try to open "My eBooks" folder in Win XP Pro, I get an error message that says "My eBooks is not accessable" "the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable".

The first thing I tried was system restore. No luck.

I've tried "chkdsk /F" and it won't run...it says "the volume is in use by another process". I've tried scheduling it to run at next startup, but it still won't run. It says something about "being a non-windows disk"

Running "chkdsk' by itself returns a lot of bad links to files also says something about "non-windows disk".

Everything was working fine when I went to bed last night. When I tried to open the folder today I got the above error message.

Every other folder in "My Documents" opens fine.

I've had no problems at all with this configuration until today. Anybody have any ideas how to fix it? Or maybe know how to get my files out of the "My eBooks" folder through a "back door", so to speak, so I can do a format and clean install?

plz give me solution

To recover files from corrupted partition, try out the "recover my files" software it recovers maximum files.
But an important thing to remember is that, once u realise that the partition is courrpted, dont go fot any scans or disk check.. which windows tries to do on a courrpted disk.

In recover my files, go for a fast format recover, and let the scan finish, after that it will show u which of the files ar recoverable.
-------
I recoverd all my files with this software.
