Lost data on USB hard drive

[daveiosys]

Lately my system has prompted (while screensaver is active) with the
warning message:

“Windows unable to save all the data for the file H:\XS$.Bitmap. The
data has been lost.”

The noted location (Drive H) is on my Seagate - External USB drive.

Can anyone help me decipher this message?

Thank you for your assistance.

if i'm not mistaken
there is a unique correlation
between "a specialty"
bmp file and the mft.

have you chkdsk that
external drive?"

Hello,

What happened was that XP was writing some data to the HDD when it either
decided to sleep/malfunction or you disconnected it without safely removing
it.

I would re-copy the file. And run a disk check on it as well.
