0KB file - Corruption?!

[pioneer2000]

My Windows 8 recently BSOD upon installing updates and restarted - I've since stumbled upon some random files (3 MKV's in a folder of about 30) that have become 0KB files and won't open.

Chkdsk reports no issues, Recuva doesn't find anything...

In the hidden system files within the drive, there now appears to be a "found" folder but I apparently don't have access to it even as an admin.

So now of course i'm worried more files might disappear etc!

So, what to do?! How can I restore these 0KB files? Anyone seen this before?

Hope it's not a Windows 8 thing as never encountered this with 7!

No ideas?

Hmmm, well apart from those couple of files it seems to be stable now... unsure what happened there.

Does anyone run Windows 8 with a Gigabyte EX-UD5? As far as i'm aware, it doesn't appear to be compatible... I have hard drives on all sata ports and the 4 on the JMD controller keep hanging / disappearing, whereas in Windows 7 they were fine.

I'm using the latest JMD driver as Gigabyte haven't updated their own for years, but still no luck.

I have the same motherboard on F13H BIOS running Windows 8 x64 fine.
3 Hard drives on the Intel controller.

The first sets of Windows update adds stability for me by preventing random BSOD at startup.

MKVs are video files I think, so it may have been that a program created them, then crashed before any data was written to the files. I don't think it would be a problem.

MKV come on DVD's, any programs been running dealing with video. Maybe temp files at 0k were being used at some point I would think safe for deletion.
