Jim,
First, thank you for your time. I tried to schedule chkdsc twice, but when
rebooted, the scan did not start. In safe mode I was able to run chkdsc and
the disc checked out ok. The report from the scan gave me vol. size of
83.83gb, with 18.91gb used and a cluster size of 4. I was able to see that
there are
Audio Books but properties says that the disc is empty, even when I hold the
curser over the file, empty. I have [EMAIL PROTECTED] installed but unable to
figure out the correct path to enter into the delete field. One thing that I
failed to mention was that the G:\ partition created when I had XP Home, am
now running XP Pro with SP2(only). The external drive is a 240 gb
partitioned into G, H and I. All of H & I work fine and can get into all
parts of each. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Occasionally an application will not tell the OS that it has finished with
a
file or directory
( Especially if the application was 'chopped')
If you still have any application associated with the file 'running'
terminate that application and try again
Also do you have another explorer window open on that, or a lower level
directory.
If not try again after a reboot
Then run chkdsk on the partition and try again
Then try Safe mode
If all fail come back to the forum for more complex techniques

sure that the disc is not full or write-protected and that the file is not
currently in use. The folder is empty, contains no data. Any suggestions
