Darkwolven is an unknown quantity at this point

I can't believe you aren't using NTFS. You are using XP aren't you? The whole point of NTFS is that it continuously journals as you go so you don't need scandisk.

As for why...the system was probably working with the file/moving it/reading it/ or what ever when the system went down. I am perplexed how scandisk alone could kill 80 GIGS though. Are you sure it was not associated with additional problems Hotrod? Such as bad clusters etc...?
