The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable - HOW?

[eewah]

Hi,

I have a portable harddisk. There a corrupted file - which is unreadable and undeletable.

What can I do now? I wish to delete the corrupted file while keep all other files (if possible).

Thanks.

Hello Community

EE WAH maybe save your portable harddisk data on another drive then format portable. Put your data back on and do what i try to, back everthing up.

A lot more info is needed here:

version of Windows?
Type of file system - FAT32 or NTFS?
location of folder?
EXACT error message?
is it a USB or firewire hard drive?

Thanks,

The problem is solved. I run the "Properties->Tools->Error-Checking" on the affected harddisk. It deletes the corrupted files after scanning.
