Re: Cannot delete file "Jim Hawkins" <jimhawkins[ at ]manx.net> 11/11/2008 1:21:09 PM Hi Olorin, Philo suggested chkdsk /f followed by a reboot, and it worked. But thanks very much for your suggestion. Jim Hawkins "Olórin" <incanus[ at ]erkljrjre890aeraekj4na.com> wrote in message news:ubgZHr$QJHA.3932[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl...
