you mean chkdsk c:/r
or which ever drive windows is installed on...

this stop error could be a virus as well!

Download this, burn it to a CD and run it to fix viruses issues...

no, actually he meant chkdsk /f.

That will check the drive that he is currently on and having issues with. If he is having issues with a different drive, then at that point you add the drive quantifier.

well, there are 2 problems I'm looking at:

One, I can't delete that folder
Two, I can't boot up in safe mode

I've run AVG and it says I'm clean.

What have you tried so far?

Have you tried taking ownership of the folder or using Unlocker?

Have you tried chkdsk?

I've run chkdsk and it required that I do it at reboot, so I just went ahead and rebooted and it checked C drive, but the results disappeared before I could read them as it continued to boot up the computer. In any case, it was D drive where the stubborn file was located.

I did try unlocker and it worked! So that folder is gone now. That just leaves me with the issue of being unable to reboot in safe mode. I just tried it again and got the same error message as described in post #8 of this thread...
