You say <<I KNOW that the server does not have any viruses>>   have you booted to known good media and done a virus scan?   -----Original Message----- From: John Cesta - Lists [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Subject: RE: Files keep disappearing from the winnt dir No, actually, I haven't. that server is not involved in any email clients or not used by anyone. It is a backup server tied to one other server. That's it.   John   -----Original Message----- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Subject: RE: Files keep disappearing from the winnt dir Just for the halibut, have you run a full AV scan on this server?    -----Original Message----- From: John Cesta - Lists [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, September 28, 2001 8:07 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Files keep disappearing from the winnt dir   I am having a sort of weird problem on one of my NT4.0 SP6a servers. A while back I had to clean the server - chkdsk - seemed to work ok.   After that this problem keeps occurring. One day I noticed that the files - not any directories just files -  in the c:\winnt directory were gone except for two of them. I copied the files from another identical NT box in to this server's winnt directory. A day or so later they were gone again. I copied them into the dir again, a day later they are gone. I KNOW that the server does not have any viruses. I can only figure that the server may have a corrupt file system and needs to be cleaned once more.   Any suggestions?   John Cesta     Want to unsub?
