Hi all,
I am rescuing files from the drive of a Windows computer that died.
Unfortunately the old drive was PATA and the new computer is SATA so I
borrowed a USB drive housing and copied the whole "Documents and
Settings" directory from the old drive to the C: drive on the new
computer. But now that I've rescued files, I can't delete the
directories.
The offending file is:
C:\Documents and Settings\Kathy\Desktop\rescued\Documents and Settings
\Kathy\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\RH8ZMR9M
\l.yimg.com\cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com\ver\242\embed-2007-08-28-1213\swf
\yup_embed_module.swf\testmo~1.sol
I can see the .SOL file in explorer and in a directory listing from
the command line, but I can't open, move or delete it. The file is
341 bytes long, but has no properties in explorer ... right-clicking
on it shows only options to "open with..." or "send to". Trying to
open the .SOL file with a hex editor gives me an "invalid name"
error. Trying to delete the surrounding "yup_embed_module.swf"
directory gives me an "access denied" error.
I'm on XPpro SP3 using simple sharing. The old computer was SP2 and
had user security on, but I (thought I) removed all the security on
the rescued files by copying/restoring through ntbackup.
I've unsuccessfully tried deleting using the UNC name and the
"MoveOnBoot" utility.
Any other thoughts?
George
