First time caller
My computer does not get through directory scan when I am running scandisk.
It gives the message " scandisk data error while reading cluster 8530."
I can not get past this error to get into Win98 second ed.
I have tried at the DOS level:
1. Scandisk regular way - get to 29% and then just keeps trying to read
2. Scandisk autofix - same as #1
3. NDD Diagnose Disk - It takes me to directory 425 with the name "YG7HPJ2X". (SEE NEW THOUGHT below.)
4. NDD Surface Test - Hangs partially through no error message given.
________________________
New thought:
I just ran attrib YG*.* and found a directory with files listed.
Here is the path:
"c:\windows\tempor~1\content.IE5\YG7HPJ2X\file"
Now if I try to do a dir on tempor~1 (temporary internet files) NO FILES are showing.
If I run attrib *.* there is only 1 file
SH Desktop.ini
SOOOOO - Can I deltree a directory that I can't get to?
Please advise - Is there another SW Product that would fix this? Is there a manual way to correct this problem?
Thanks
