Android Question Corrupt Project

[mhartwig]

Not sure what happened, but all the source files in one of my projects got corrupted.

They now look like this:

/¤Ô´ÈÆùÿ ´-í-$š6»’YeùwÇŸðHoÙOÄÑÞê>²×¾_3ãKÕô]dxÏKµ»·Û#ÐuM(Á`}¡N ¾L*ê×pc

It was only the source files, there are html files in the assets folder that are fine, but the bal files and the manifest got corrupt.

Luckily, it wasnt a complicated project, so i can recreate it. Any ideas on how this could have happened though.

Are you seeing this anywhere else in your PC? word excel documents etc.

Yes now that I look at it, only on my external hard drive. Maybe the drive is going bad. Only had it for a few weeks. Toshiba Canvio Terabyte...

My C:\ drive is fine.

Backup your data if you have not done so already and run a Chkdsk /r on the drive.
