I just lost a partition...sort of. The first symptom was Autoget did not
work. I dragged a file link to the desktop, and nothing happened. I looked
in the Autoget folder, and all the links were broken. I tried to go to the
Autoget install directory, which is on drive G. Clicking the G drive icon,
produced a tree with a single subdirectory, and then a "NO OBJECTS FOUND"
error, and then a "SYS0276 EA CORRUPTED" error. Larson Commander showed only
the same subdirectory, but no errors. EF Commander properly showed the entire
drive. Norton Commander for DOS also showed the drive properly.

G drive is my data partition. This includes, the email files and
Swapper.dat. This is the machine I am sending this email from.

I copied the contents of G drive to my file server, so the data is now safe.
What is the straight forward way to fix this? Is it EA DATA.SF that is
corrupted? If I had just created G, the OS would create EA DATA.SF. What
happens if I delete EA DATA.SF?

TY
Ray
