Summary: Invalid UTF-8 in deleted FAT files

Initial Comment:
When looking for deleted FAT directory entries in unallocated space, some random data passes the possible checks and is considered a FAT entry. The name is copied directly into the FS_NAME buffer, which is not correct because the buffer should be only valid UTF-8 and we dont' know what this data is going to be.
