Failed to open file... cannot find the file specified...

[Gary Kajutis via AdminLife]

I'm trying to clean up on 1 of my 15 servers. This particular 1is Win2K with SP4. Have some files that are "damaged" somehow. They appear in my nightly backup log as "Failed to open file<filename>, RC=2, The system cannot find the file specified". I've checked & the files appear in the correct locations, butthere's something "wrong" with them. When you look at thefolder you can see the file & its size, BUT if you go intoProperties for that file, its size is zero (0), NOT what wasshown in the folder view? I'd like to get this small messcleaned up. It's a nuisance only.

You didn't mention the files but if they're OS files then replace them from
the Windows 2000 install CD-Rom or a service pack extract, whichever is
newer.
