Abstract
Defective long filenames (LFNS) are diagnosed and repaired in computer systems that have a file allocation table (FAT) structure (2) and that use both short filenames (SFNs) and long filenames (LFNs). Each LFN comprises at least one LFN entry. Defective LFN entries that are repaired are from the group comprising orphaned LFN entries, malformed LFN entries, improperly terminated chains of LFN entries, and improper matches between LFNs and corresponding SFNs.
