I'd bet Mike's iClean suggestion is the trick except if the false
items happen to have an invalid name, I wouldn't mess with them until
all your data is off of the 722's drive.
As you probably know, SD is emphatic about not using any Mac or PC
application to alter the 722's directory, but rather let the 722
handle all of that on its own. Of course, when you write to the 722's
drive, you're mildly altering the directory. To be safe, I just read
data from drive until the precious stuff is off. In the "read me"
for the newest firmware upgrade, it suggests to not start your
computer with the 722 on and connected. Mount it with hot FW plug
in. Always eject the 722 before pulling the FW cable or shutting it
off. These are fairly consistent with usual procedures but not
enitrely. I haven't lost a single bit. Rob D.
