Folks, I'm running Win2k with NTFS. I have a MP3 file from one of my home CD's that will not delete. The file name is very long - probably all 256 characters. Win2k sees it there when I list the directory but when I attempt to delete the file it says 'file not found'. The real problem is that it is preventing me from backing up my directories. Whenever backup, or just copy for that matter, hits that file it stops and fails with a file not found error.
I've gone into Command Prompt and tried to use DEL with no success.
I've booted off the Win2K emergency disks and run CHKDSK to no avail. I tried to access the file while in 'Dos' mode but I cannot CD into the Documents and Settings directory even though I logged in as administrator. So I can't try deleting it from that environment.
Any ideas? I'm at a loss. Would really like to get my backups working again.
