Does anyone know if it would be possible to reformat a WIN1_ partition on a Qubide hard disk without losing the other partitions?

The ZERO option of the Partition program will wipe all directory info from the chosen partition, effectively removing all files.
I believe that the separate WIPE_exe will do the same.

Format will also wipe the table for the other partitions held on Win1_, making them inaccessible.

It looks like the member’s WIN1_ has a corrupt directory, with repeated spurious names in the DIR list which can’t be deleted.

Alternatively, does anyone know of a way of removing a single complete directory in cases like this?

The Qubide tool WinEdit_obj has options to collect all blocks belonging to one file. I have never used this option myself and if the directory is corrupted, it may not be able to do a good job.

Good luck,
Bob
