"cakewalk projects is not accessible"

[jonathan boose]

I went to open a project and noticed that lower tracks were greyed out and "busy".

I recently emptied my picture cache file, but I thought I'd take a look, however when I went to check out the Cakewalk projects folder, suddenly it was "corrupted and unreadable".

Why is that?

I just opened another project without a problem but the project folder is still toast.

Looks like you need to run chkdsk on the drive.

It may be just a glitch, or it may be that your drive is damaged.

Either way, run chkdsk.

If the drive is damaged, backup what you can and transfer it to another drive.

I've been doing that regularly.

The Cakewalk Projects folder is back -- I copied it to another drive. I don't keep projects on it -- those are saved to external drives.

Oddly, there were a bunch of WOV and TR2 files that were generated in that folder, which I deleted.
