Question Files Dissapear in windows 2003 directory

Hi

Anybody ever seen a problem were by you create a file or folder in a directory and then do a refresh and the object dissapears from view? Its like the file is still there but not displayed as I get the following when I do a new .txt doc "New Text Document (3).txt".

Thanks in advance

Where exactly is the folder located?
Have you disabled the "hidden" features in folder options?

Hi, the folder is located in c:\ftpshare\Archive\SDTEST, which I have created. I have disabled Hidden Files. If I copy this folder and start again it works fine. But is becoming an ongoing issue now. Seems to be ok for a while then stops. Problem is that a batch file runs and dumps a file in that dir overnight. But with this problem I can't rely on the file being created.

I ran a CHKDSK on the drive and found errors on the drive. CHKDSK /f and the system recovered many orphaned files. The missing files then appeared and new files added tho the directory are now fine

Thanks for looking
