cannot create or delete folder

[Guest]

In a previous post I explained how limited account users on my pc were unable
to rename folders once created, resulting in an abundance of folders named
New001, New002, etc, and are also unable to delete any folders once created.
I do not have this problem when using my administrator log in and have not
set up any special access definitions for other users, and in any case, they
should (i believe) be able to performs these actions even on a limited
account. The error message I get when choosing the name of a newly created
folder reads;

cannot create or replace (filename) file system error (-65537)

can anyone explain what might be causing this? Or how it might be fixed?

In a previous post, someone kindly suggested running chkdsk /f which
temporarily fixed the problem, but it has now returned and running chkdsk no
longer fixes!

If Chkdsk fixed the problem once but the problem recurred and Chkdsk can
no longer fix it, then run a drive diagnostic - *after* you back up any
important data. Get the diagnostic utility from the hard drive mftr.'s
website. You will create a bootable cd or floppy with the file you
download. Boot the machine with the media you created and do a thorough
test. If the hard drive fails any physical tests, replace it.
