I have an empty folder on my D Drive (Data). It's stopping defragmenter
unning. When I try to delete it, I get the message that the file cannot be
deleted as it is corrupted and unreadable. (Win XP Pro SP2)

Run Error Checking | Reboot | Try to delete the folder again.

1. In My Computer or Windows Explorer, right-click the volume you want to
check, and then click Properties.
2. On the Tools tab, click Check Now.
3. Select both of these:

o Automatically fix file system errors
o Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors

You have to reboot for Error-checking to run.

For a peek at the chkdisk log.
Start | Run | Type: eventvwr | OK
Look in Application | Listed as Information
under Winlogon, Event 1001
