I find that I can't delete some files I have after clearing out my hard drive. I am left with the message " file system error (1026)"
Any suggestions?
I have tried renaming them but it will not allow me to do so..the same error message appears.........

Try booting to DOS and delete the files from the prompt.

If there are not too many files list them on here then either I or someone else will tell you how to delete them from DOS.
