I have good reason to beleive that my external hard drive may have errors on
it due to a certain folder on it refusing to delete because Windows Explorer
thinks that it "cannot delete - cannot find the specified file" So why the
hell is said file even listed if it cannot be deleted?!
Anyway, I tried to use scandisk to find and correct the errors on my
ecternal hard drive. That did not work. Scandisk does not exist in
Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools anymore (*WHY* did Microshaft have to
go and fool with something that wasn't broke and was working fine the way it
was?!) I tried searching for "Scandisk" in Start/Help And Support which led
me to c:/windows/system32/chkdsk.exe but everytime I try to run it, even in
safe mode, I get some crap close to "cannot be run in win32 mode"
What's wrong? All I want to do is to delete one lousy folder and the three
lousy files in it. What am I missing?
Thanx on advance
