(that's right, do you all remember 80's freestyle remixes?) and i can't delete it. i get a message that reads "can not read from source file or disk" or "refers to a location that is unavailible" when i try to open the folder. The folder says it's empty in properties, but there should be 1 file inside. i've tried running scan disk, but i still can't delete it. i can't delete any of the outer folders either. any suggestions?

The startup disk won't recognize the drive. If I partition the drive, then it will only recognize the partitioned part, and not the part that I need. Any other suggestion would be much appriciated :-) Response Number 6 Name: Lesley Date: September 09, 2002 at 16:47:04 Pacific Subject: can't delete folder Reply: Safe Mode ? Response Number 7 Name: B Funk Date: September 10, 2002 at 16:47:57 Pacific Subject: can't delete folder Reply: same thing, still can't delete....

Can you do anything else with it - like Move it or Copy it ? Lesley

no, i can't open, move, or copy the folder at all

You can try booting to the xp recovery console and delete it that way. Just like DOS, same commands almost

I remember the stevie b, johnny o days.. "one more try".. Matter of fact i have a folder for both.. HipHop ruined freestyle ! Not helping here so im out.

Have u tried deleting in safe mode by logging as a administrator.
