Prescan.exe error upgrading to WSS V3

[Guest gocat2005]

Hello

 

I am running Prescan.exe before I upgrade to WSS V3. Prescan detects 2 sites

which cannot be scanned because "they cannot be accessed using the SharePoint

Products and Technologies object model". These 2 sites are old deleted sites

eg:

http://wssserver/localoffice1/person-a

http://wssserver/localoffice2/person-b

 

I ran stsadm databaserepair and also detached and re-attached the Content

database. I then ran the SQL Query (KB 937291) which reveals the two deleted

sites.

 

How do I get rid of them? Can I delete them from the database?

 

I have posted this to the Technet public forum with no response and it is

now getting urgent so your advice would be appreciated as soon as possible

please
