- After using chkdisk i get some sort of an error about a certain directory
- that is screwed up. I tried to do a chkdsk /f . No good, it sais the
- disk is locked by some other application. (No other windows open) I guess
- if you have one partition you're screwed? I tried attrib. That won't
- work becuase the files are ascii codes and even after using an editor to
- figure outthe codes the attrib command still didnt'work. the direcotry
- sais these messed up files are taking up 3.9 gig of my 87 meg hard drive.
- Really cute there. How will i get rid of these files?
