Delete bad file in Win XP

[dullard]

I've got an old computer just upgraded to Win XP from Win NT. During the cleanup, I noticed a file couldn't be deleted. It is a temporary internet file (named abcnews.go[1].) with 0 byte length. Anytime I try to delete it, copy it, open it, rename it, etc I get the message:
"Cannot read from the source file or disk".
I thoroughly scanned the disk twice and it finds nothing. I tried to defragment the drive for the first time ever (Win NT didn't have a defragmenter) and it aborts whenever it hits that file. Any ideas on what to do with the thing?

chkdisk maybe?

You know its been so long since I used DOS that I forgot about chkdsk. It is running now. Hopefully it will find the thing.

Chkdsk was the same thing as scandisk. I'm getting nothing fixed. I can move the file around, but if I delete the directory it is in I get a "cannot find the file" error. Is there any free software to download that can scan a disk?
