Undelete crazyness

When I bought a 486SX 25Mhz in 1994 or so from a friend of my mom I decided to snoop around and try to undelete some of the things he had deleted before selling it to us. So I started up UNDELETE in DOS and found some folders and documents that seemed interesting. I recovered them, but the strangest thing happened when I tried to access one of the folders. I came back to the root, that is, in the recovered folder I found all the folders and files in my root. I could then continue to the recovered folder again and again find myself in the root. Something like this:

C:\PROGRAMS\UNDELETE\REC_FLDR\PROGRAMS\UNDELETE\REC_FLDR\PROGRAMS\UNDELETE\REC_FLDR\ etc.

I suspect some kind of black hole had been created on my harddrive that somehow disturbed the space-time continuum. Well, anyways, being not so computer sawy at the time I figured I would just delete the folder and everything would be fine. After waiting for a couple of minutes for the deletion of the files and folders to finish I got worried about why the hell it took so long. I reset my computer and, of course, it wouldn't start correctly. I had deleted half of the data on my drive including DOS.

This was my story. Anybody have any more crazy computer stories?

I had experiences of circular references in DOS as well. I don't know how they got there, but occasionally I would go into a directory in file manager or dosshell or whatever and it would contain another directory which was itself. I could keep opening them and end up with a directory tree hundreds of levels deep if I was patient.
