How to delete damaged files

[Honjo]

File damages appeared to have occurred when OS file system was changed
from NTFS to FAT32. I can neither change name of or delete those
affected files. Is there a brute force way to delete those useless
files?

Then try this:

Start>Run - then type in "sfc /scannow" - without the quotes. You will have
to have your XP CD to hand.

And if that fails, try this:

You may want to do a Repair Install at this point.

Yes, there is; or rather, there are, Honjo. I gather these are not system
files for no one in his/her right mind would want to delete them but to
repair or replace them with good ones. There are a lot of references on
deleting the 'undeletable' files. May I direct you to the following web
sites for answers; there are many other good ones too, but these are the
ones I'd first seek for solutions.

Thanks for your post and sorry for my late reply.
I did run chkdsk but to no avail.

I could repair damaged folders and files by changing their names from
Linux.
