I have over 5 Gig of tablebase files, over 200 files. I ran into the corrupted file problem after installing them from 10 CDs, plus downloading other files from Bob Hyatt's site. None of the Fritz family programs would open. Although not a fast solution, I opened a new folder, changed the pointer in the chessbase.ini file, to the new folder, and copied about 150 of the files there, and tried to open a Fritz family program. That didn't work. I then deleted 50 files and it worked, so I had a good 100 files. I continued this and in about two hours found two corrupt files, one of which I re-created using the tablebase generator program, and the other I downloaded from Bob's site. Everything works fine now. I have Athlon 750 with 384MB RAM so the process was not that slow (copying those huge files, but tb generator is very slow).
