I have had a lab user who experienced this on her home machine.  The second
disk, with the corrupted FAT, was recoverable using the Scandisk
application.  (Start - Programs - Accessories - (System Tools) - Scandisk)
However, the old FAT and the new FAT merged, so there were quite a few files
listed that were not actually there.  However, we were at least able to
recover the existing files.
While I hope this helps, I am really curious to see who else has had this
problem and any possible cause.
