re: Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk. Thursday, June 19, 2008 at 1:15 am Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Jacob6601 (1712 messages posted) If I got this right, "problem folder" is not a root folder (e:\problem folder) but embedded (e:\folder\problem folder). Create e:\folder1 and copy everything from e:\folder (except e:\folder\problem folder) into it. VERY IMPORTANT! Copy e:\folder1 (new) to an internal drive, disconnect the usb, re-boot and verify at least some of the files on the internal drive. If it looks okay, try deleting e:\folder (original with the problem folder). Now re-boot and verify at least some of the files on the external drive (before deleting copies on c).
