I tried a program for backup. Don't know what it did. It never made a backup
that was correct.

The problem is now there is a directory on my F drive which is an external
hard drive that I can not delete. There are 3 directories under it that I
can't either. The message I get is "Error 0x80070570 The file or directory
is corrupted and unreadable. I have ran chkdsk on the drive, I ran defrag.
Nothing will let me get rid of this directory. Any suggestions.

Thanks for any and all help.

Jackie

Hi There,

So far I have went to it clicked I said delete. That is when the error
message comes. I went to safe mode but because it is an external drive it
doesn't show up when I do that. I ran chkdsk and have defragged. It just
won't go away. Any help you can be I really appreciate.

Thanks
Jackie

Do you have any other data stored on that drive. If not,
try formatting the drive, and see what comes up. If the
drive is a USB drive, try rerouting the cable so it doesn't
go through any other cables such as power (that can corrupt
data transfer really easily).

Hi, Thanks for your reply,

Ok, What I have is a Maxtor 100 gig external harddrive. Not quite sure how
to format it. Do I just go to computer and then click format and then it
should get rid of all those undeletable files and be ready to use again. I
worry a little bit of knowledge can make me dangerous. I got in to this
trouble because I thought I know more than I do.

If what I say above makes sense let me know and I will format. will not do
anything till I hear.

Thanks for your help.

If you are interested, go back to the link I gave you in my earlier
reply. A hotfix is offered from that link. ( Not this link. This is just
a link for a screenshot ).
