It's been a long time since I came across it but there were some old DOS viruses which would 'garble' the FAT (file allocation table) on drives. The result would be 'cross-linked' files.
I haven't kept track recently so I'm not sure if there is anything out there that would do the same to FAT32 and anything that tried it on NTFS would probably just trash the drive totally anyway so I may be wrong.
Just a thought.
