Corrupted File

[Guest]

Carey Frisch,
I tried to use the eldergeek's way of deleting the "undeletable" file and it was to no avail. I am still stuck with it. I have closed every program, even used task manager to close every process, except for system processes and still nothing. Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks

Try renaming the file and deleting it.
Boot into "Safe Mode" and try deleting it.

Visit http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_d.htm#del for tips on
how to delete an undeletable file or folder.

Dear newsgroup poster,

Please try booting in Safe mode to access/delete the file in question.

If this does not work, you might look for a 3rd party/shareware program
that lets you access the drive outside of Windows.

One place to explore for such a utility is here:
