Are you sure you're not confusing real files with commands built into the
shell you're using?  It's possible you have some kind of directory
confusion in your C: directory, though most cases of directory corruption
come with an error that'll be noticed by the filesystem.  If you have 
DiskSalv, it should be able to salvage that disk and get back a normally
structured directory.

My experience with FixDisk (well, I do have to check out the competition if
I'm going to do better, eh) is that it's pretty safe, and recovers most of
the same things DiskSalv V1.42 handles.
