And as Quirke says, under FAT you can have a mis-match between the
file-size as recorded in the FAT vs the length of the file-chain, and
for which is easily fixable.


Only easily fixable if the file is not fragmented, or the second FAT has
not been updated, otherwise you'll have to search the disk for any
non-contiguous clusters.

NTFS is more than journalling. There's the organizational structure or
pattern as to how you store files and directories, and there's the event
or transaction-monitoring and logging operations above that. You could
theoretically have journalling performed on a FAT32 file structure.


Microsoft is apparently considering it for their exFAT format. Not
really transaction logging as in NTFS, but using the second FAT as the
record to roll back to.

I gather that is a possibility given the symptoms. But you say it
like it's a certainty. It definitely wasn't the case in the example I
gave. There was a bug in one program I used, where I save outgoing
messages, but they weren't really saved until I closed the program or
closed the outbox. I complained to the author and at first he didnt'
believe me, but later he believed me and he fixed it.

Not the Software win 98 FE .... the Hard
Drive crashed,


There was no harddrive crash. Thanks anyhow.

To save your win 98 FE and stop the files from missing....
You would need to get a new Hard Drive make one 32 GB partition on it with
a FAT32 system
And Xcopy the 98 FE to the new Hard Drive is the only way to stop the lost
of create!

That How you do the repair to the Hard Drive,
