Hi Rob,
OK, I have some success.
Pam suggested I try renaming the _dd files to mp3 files to see if they play.
They did not.
I renamed back to _dd files, I also used chkdsk and the problem seems to be
fixed, at least with the one book. All files are there ETC.
I don't know where the deleeted files from the other books went, but it
doesn't matter now that I'e got the important one back.
Thanks!
Rusty

I would start resending. If the file system is in good shape, those files
are just gone. I don't know why they disappeared; I am hoping that others
with this problem will give enough clues that we can figure it out.

Hi Rob,
There are some _ix files and some _dd files.
There are some missing files however, because there isn't a matched set of
three files for each file name.
There is still a lastfile file.
Any ideas as to how to recover these files without resending, or, possibly,
saving bookmarks?
Thanks!
Rusty

It would be interesting to know if each book you transferred has both an
._IX file and a ._DD file associated with it. We have seen a few situations
where user's lost the ._DD file for a book, but the ._IX file was in tact.
Of course we haven't gotten this to happen here and have know idea how it
occurred. If you decide to look, remember to show hidden files, since ._IX
files are hidden files. I realise the file names are not the title of the
book; figuring out which files belong to which book is a bit of a challenge.

Hi folks,
I have a daisy book on my bookport for a class which I teach. I have been
using this particular file for about sixteen weeks with no trouble. It is on
a compact flash card which holds many other things1 txt books1 podcasts. I
do not generally use this card for anything else, but, occasionally I will
put a file on it to be read with my ubrailleunote.
My daisy books are in a directory of their own. The card is not full.
Here's my problem. Today I attempted to read from this particular book.
I
got an error saying, "application file IO error"
There are other daisy books in the same directory. Two of them,
significantly smaller books, are playable. Another, a large book, gives me a
slightly different error, "error opening file data file IO error"
Other mp3 files play.
The only thing which I can think of is that I transferred a book from my pc
recently using k1000. If any one has any ideas, please let me know.
This
particular file is marked up, and it is nearly 700 pages long so transfering
it again would be a huge bummer.
Thanks
Rusty
