XP won't fix errors on a MyBook drive....
Its Windows XP SP2 and its an external USB MyBook 500 gb drive. The
files/programs for the most part are working on the MyBook drive, but in one directory, there are corrupted files becasue of errors. THese files cannot be moved deleted, copied or anything when I try. I went to H: properties/tools and checked box to have Windows scan/fix errors on the drive. It says it can't do that because it has to have exclusive access ....do you want to schedule this for the next reboot? I check YES and exit the tools utility. Reboot system....nothing happens when Win XP boots up! SO how can I get this drive straightened out? |

It's likely that the problem I describe in http://www.stamdards.com/index.html?...veDeleteRename exists. One way to check is to try reading the files using http://www.standards.com/index.html?ReadFile, checking both the Unicode and bypass errors option. |
