Get yourself a Win 98/Me boot disk. Boot the computer from it
and then you should have access to the drive. Unless you are running
the NTF format then you have to put a NTF reader on your boot disc
to read a NTF drive under Dos. You can get a free one from the net.
If you can't find one I have one I can e-mail you.

Subject: [pchelpers] Deleting Folder Contents
I'm looking for an alternate method of deleting the contents of a folder
other than hitting the delete button. A few days ago my husband was editing
images (jpegs) in Fireworks and went to save them in a folder but, to make a
long story short, Fireworks was probably starting to crash at the time and
hence did not save the images correctly, and the saved images became corrupt.
Now Windows won't let you even open the folder. All we get is an error message
(error: folder not accessible. Incorrect funtion). What we were hoping to do
is somehow delete the corrupt files and hopefully save the rest of the folder's
contents, or at the very least delete the folder itself. I was going to
attempt deleting in DOS but we are on Windows 2000 and we can't find a way of
getting a true DOS prompt in that OS.
Any suggestions?
-Susan

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
