And a complex folder/file tree. Right?

define c omplex

5-6 levels max .. maybe a 7 if you count leafs.

it is mostly a backup disk of usre profiles c:\users\<profile>

so it would look like mostly off volume

<user>\Desktop
<user>\Music
<user>\..etc...
<user>\Favorites


Worst case is probably music

<user>\music\itunes\media\artist_album\song.mp4

documents would be something like

<user>\documents\adobe\aftereffects\<project>\project_helperfolder\file.???

any more updates on this ? topic?

btw -- mine occured when i accidentally did windows 7 setup and selected "delete" the non-boot drive i was installing to.

i did not format the drive but it set the partition to Protective MBR ...
