giant stripes are eating my jpegs

    Sometime ago I backed up my HP computer with a Lacie 320 gig external hard drive. A week ago I had a major crash on the HP, so I took a look at the thousands of images backed up into my Lacie. The first download was haphazard, but the images were fine. In the next download I started getting stripes blotting out up to 60% of the image. The stripes are mostly horizontal and are the color of what most matches the colors of visible side of the thumbnails.  Many thumbnails have no stripes, yet when you expand them, they have the stripe.

    There was a recent thread here about missing thumbnails and how too many characters in the files above the jpeg in question could cause this. The stripes start at about 67 characters. I took some striped thumbnails from deep in the striped jpeg folders and placed them in a folder in my computer C: drive, but there was no change.

    There's a pattern to what get's striped, but I can't figure it out.  It's only about 5% of thousands of jpegs,  but just happens to be the ones I need and aren't backed up elsewhere.

    I use HP and  ACDsee 9 and would appreciate any help or clues to solving this. Some of these shots are so beautiful it breaks my heart to look at them,

    I have found that striped images mean corrupt images.    I have usually had this occur with psd & apd thumbnails though and never with jpg images.   I do know that images will be striped if the file is open in another program and ACDSee tries to create the thumbnail, once the opened file is closed, the thumbnail can be rebuilt correctly.  But again this is for psd & apd files.  Never seen it with jpg files.   The path length of filename bug probably isn't the issue -- that bug usually doesn't show the thumbnail at all.   So not sure if any of that is any help.  I would guess a corrupted image.  Are these images viewable by another image software?  You could try resave them in another image editor and see if it helps.
