Try copying the files to another drive, directory or another filename, then 
try to access them with Autocad. I've done this a couple of times with ascii 
files under dos and the result files end up okay.
One needs to run some disk utilities to optimize one's disk and keep all 
files contiguous so that fragmention is reduced and the possibly of 
cross-linking by power outages is reduced. Saving current drawings regularly 
during an editing session is also good, not deleting the *.bak files is a 
good idea.
