Problem deleting folders!

[Guest Lasse]

Hi

 

I have a strange problem with one of our company servers runnong Windows

2000 SP4.

The users have access to a mapped drive on the server, when deleting a

folder containing files it deletes everything except for maybe a couple of

files where return a error! If I then reboot the server the folder and files

are gone.

I seems like it keeps the couple in some sort of cache that gets flushed

when rebooted! I can't figure out what the problem is.

Re: Problem deleting folders!

 

After backup you can run;

chkdsk /r

from the recovery console command line. (/r implies /f and /p)

 

To start the Recovery Console, start the computer from the Windows 2000

Setup CD or the Windows 2000 Setup floppy disks. If you do not have Setup

floppy disks and your computer cannot start from the Windows 2000 Setup CD,

use another Windows 2000-based computer to create the Setup floppy disks. At

the "Welcome to Setup" screen. Press F10 or R to repair a Windows 2000

installation, and then press C to use the Recovery Console. The Recovery

Console then prompts you for the administrator password. If you do not have

the correct password, Recovery Console does not allow access to the

computer. If an incorrect password is entered three times, the Recovery

console quits and restarts the computer. Note If the registry is corrupted

or missing or no valid installations are found, the Recovery Console starts

in the root of the startup volume without requiring a password. You cannot

access any folders, but you can carry out commands such as chkdsk, fixboot,

and fixmbr for limited disk repairs. Once the password has been validated,

you have full access to the Recovery Console, but limited access to the hard

disk. You can only access the following folders on your computer: drive

root, %windir% or %systemroot%

 

You can also download and run a disk diagnostic utility from the drive

manufacturer's web site.
