I had of course already tried that. It didn't work! <snip> here is my way to deal with "undeletable" files: Run a disk editor of Your choice and overwrite the first letter of the name of the file with the character 229 in the directory. You can enter it by holding ALT-key and hitting 229 at numeric keypad (DOS will do the same when deleting a file). After leaving the editor, chkdsk or similiar will report a lost cluster chain. Just delete this and the undeletable file is gone to byte heaven. HTH Joerg -- Arachne V1.70, NON-COMMERCIAL copy, http://arachne.cz/
