Corrupted DBF file

I have a problem where dbf files will show an incredibly large (not to mention completely impossible) size.  Currently, the size reported if I do a listing is over 3 gig.  This is obviously wrong since it is stored on a 1gig drive.  Any ideas why this is happening or how to fix it?

The file system is corrupted, it looks like.  I'd back up any data you can get off the partition safely (i.e. whatever's obviously corrupted) and then run chkdsk or the like and see what happens.  It may fix it, or this data may be lost for good.  Hard to tell until you try it.
