    where do cross-linked files come from?

    I know what they are, and how to get rid of them. But, when you see cross-linked files on your drive, what does it usually indicate? IE- what are the most common causes? Might it indicate that your HD is starting to fail? Or is it more likely something else?
    ...this one goes to 11...

    Hi, Crosslinked files use the same cluster and can come from as already said a bad shutdown. Can also be generated from an application that quits for some reason.

    probably the best thing is not shut down the computer incorrectly. Or good ol scandisk will fix em up good.
