    Funny (not), I noticed almost the same problem with a Firewire 250GB HD
    (Maxtor). The data has been written to it (FAT32, 200gb-Partition), but
    large files (IMO >= 1GB) got zero size and the data disappeared.
    Scandisk from Windows could not find any errors, however the displayed
    free space on this FAT filesystem has been lowered by the ammount of the
    data written too it :(

    I will try fsck.vfat later.

    MfG,
    Eduard.
