I'm curious. Every now and then someone posts "my disk got trashed
and I think Windows did it."  What do you mean by "trashed"?  Was a file
damaged?  Was the FAT or boot sector damaged?  When did you detect the 
problem -- immediately or when you tried to access the file that was damaged
or whatever? What error messages did you get (sector not found?)? How
did you fix the damage?
