I used to have this problem as well, particualrly when I would save a 
hi-res picture, I found out the cause of the problem (at least for me) was
that when i saved the picture, I would take the disk out of the drive
too early, when you saved a hi-res pic, it would save for a bit (standard
grinding), and then stop, I would take the disk out, and poof... corrupt
disk, the picture seems to save in two parts, and you have to wait until the
program is definantly DONE writing to the disk (and you get your pointer
back)... hope this helps...
