The One thing I have found out is this !
When ever a folder has permissions and or files
of a directory tree then If somehow because the power fails or the partition gets
screwed up........
Then somthing magical will happen
The partition will see the directory as normal and a linked folder on the hard drive
will have normal permissions but become a bad sector on the hard drive
untill it is re partioned and formated.
This has been going on since the days of the windows 95 error but on windows NT you
can correct this by
resetting the Permissions all the way down to nothing and re obtaining the folder
and files as Administrator
but on 95,98,winME your pretty much screwed unless
you can hook that hard drive up to a machine with a bootable NT system to repair
the file/folder Structure......
There is another way to easliy but painlessly correctly
find this error on the hard drive being caused by a file
or folder in a file ,and that's by Copying or Moving
in windows the files and folders to another hard drive
If this wierd error is present windows will not allow
you even if you are administrator to move it ,until
the permissions are corrected and or the file deleted
or repaired by some other methode I can not mention here because of the complexity
of the situation....
Good Luck.
