is anybody having problems with downloaded worksheets stored in folders that get corrupted and impossible to open?I need help!
 
I have a flashdrive where I have been saving all the nice worksheets that I downloaded from this site. I was going through the files and I noticed that some of them are corrupted and the name of the file is not the one I typed, is something weird with %, squares and weird signs. Some of the files stored in folders, even the folders cannot be opened. I am mad at myself for losing some good stuff. I will have to download it again.
Did anybody manage to recover this files? I am trying to do it with fat32 recovery program but it seems not to work.
Thank for your help.

Google flash drive corrupt and check out some of the results.
 
It �s a good idea to back up your flash drive, maybe onto your computer or an external drive.
 
Good luck!

I agree with Jayho concerning the backing up of files. You can store your files online with Dropbox (www.dropbox.com) for free. It �s like a virtual flash drive which holds up to 4 GB (more if you pay). Accessible from every computer and I think quite well protected against viruses.

Thanks a million for the advice. I had  a back up of almost all my files, but not all of them, so this is the problem. I am using Easeus data recovery to recover all the data from the 26 gb and it is taking sometime but it seems that it is working. PhilipR Thank you for letting me know about dropbox. It is a pity that it is soo expensive, I installed the free version and I might be using it for really important files.
Thanks a lot!

hi
I once had the same problem and I tried everything. Corrupt folders cannot be repaired. My advice is to try loading these files again and remember: NEVER STORE FILES ON FLOPPIES OR FLASH DRIVES for a long time. You can store your files on Google drive (Gdrive) where you can get 7 GB of free disk space.
My best wishes to you.
