Files disappearing and other files being duplicated
I have a problem where I have transferred files via USB onto my PBO core. I transferred some files and now some of the files that were transferred are now missing and some of my files have been duplicated. (I have at least 10-12 files in duplication....like two Weekend at Bernie's with the same name and filesize) I am only having issues in a folder I created called "Movies" and have more than 70 files in that folder.
Does anyone know why this is happening or how to fix it?

Which firmware version you are using ?
[*]Still new..? check the wiki. [*]Your shares gone for no reason? Create a machine shortcut. [*]Trashing the G-adapter? upgrade cheaply to N. [*]Getting the hang of it? get organized .. add share shortcuts. [*]Getting sick of it
? it never hurts to rant here [*]Wishing for the time machine? give your PBO a makeover. [*]Bricked it while doing so
? unbrick it for $5[*]Not into cross flashing? keep it semi-official [*]Too lazy to read all that
? you asked for it.[*] Thank U PBO

Thats more than 2 years old firmware.
Download the latest firmware P70R2 and see if it fixes your issues.

I have updated the firmware and still I have files that are duplicated. I have now copied these files to a different folder on the HDD and that seemed to fix the duplication but I am still missing a dozen or so movies.

Connect your PBO to your PC using the mini-USB host port and run a scandisk on the internal HDD. It appear to me as if your file allocation table might be a little screw up. Scandisk should automatically fix that for you.
Good luck!

did not help
I tried what you suggested and it does not solve the problem.

I too have the same problem with randomly missing files. I have a 1 TB hard drive installed. What's scandisk? Is that Windows 7's disk utility?

Yes, Scandisk is a Windows 7 utility which scans your drives. Simply open the Windows icon on the bottom left where it says 'search programs and files' and type 'scandisk' and let the program run.

Nope, couldn't find it. There's a utility to check the disk within Property and under the Tools tab. Is this the same thing?
