My personal programs folder under documents and settings is corrupt. NTFS has ‘burped’.
If you try to copy files to this folder they disappear (as did all files in this folder), if you try to delete the programs folder you get a message that thefolder cannot be deleted because it contains data. If you try to delete the folder from a command prompt you get a corruption error.
If you run chkdsk (during reboot) he will reset the dirty bit, but as soon as windows boots the dirty bit is once again set to indicate a disk problem.
I tried to restore the offending directory from a tape backup, the back up completes ok, but the files have disappeared.
Any one know of a trick or a utility that may repair or at least let me delete the folder ?
I would hate to think that Microsoft’s enterprise level opsys (what a joke) would require a reinstall to solve this problem.
