He, my experience is the opposite: I had a file on my DAP "corrupted" by an old Rockbox bug (causing duplicate short filename entries, IIRC). If I tried to delete it (or access it in certain ways), Windows would immediately bluescreen. Chkdsk (at least the GUI version) found nothing. dosfsck found and fixed the problem though.

Thanks to you all for these very helpful comments.
I used chkdsk [drive:] /f and it fixed the problem. The corrupt directory was converted to a file that could be readily deleted, and it fixed some other problems too. Now I can keep recording vinyl  :)
Thanks to all the Rockbox gang - it's a superb project!
