Right now I dont consider myself to be computer illiterate or anything but I know
when Im stumped.
About two days ago I tried to open up my "Written" folder (just a folder I keep all
of my work in in My Docs) but instead of opening my computer froze.
This went on for some while (as I ran a virus scanner and error nuker in the back
ground to no avail) until I became so exasperated that I tried to delete the whole
folder. Needless to say this didnt work: "File cannot be found, C drive is not formatted"
was the message I recieved or something like that which is rediculous because I could
open videos and music on the same drive.
I was beginning to think that it might be a bad segment when I looked at the folders
properties and found that read only was selected and for some reason the folder was
"zero kilobytes".
I deselected read only and tried to delete it again this time getting:
"Cannot delete: Data error (Cyclic redundancy check)"
I guessed from all this that the file index was corrupted and that the comp now knows
this but that it wouldnt delete it incase it removes something that I need with a
similar index.
Great I thought now I can run Scandisk and do away with my Lost File Fragments....but
no, I tried to run scandisk (or errorchecker as its called on XP) and everything
goes fine until it reaches a particular point and then it freezes and because it
runs automatically when the comp boots up I dont even know how to stop it!!
Any suggestions would be most welcome as I've run out of ideas!
