I'm hoping this isn't just something stupid that I'm overlooking, but here's my problem:
I have 3 HDD's...#1 is split into 2 partitions, #2 is 1 partition, and #3 is split into 2 partitions. On my third drive, F and G, I'm having a weird problem with the F drive...I am unable to delete any files on it through windows. Whenever I try to delete a file, it says that it cannot find the specified path. It is the same message for all files and folders. The strange thing is that I can delete files by bringing up the command prompt, and using DOS commands (del, and rd). I have no trouble deleting anything on the other partition for that drive.
Here's a little background on my specs: I'm running Windows XP Pro, and everything shows up as healthy and normal in Disk Management. Norton Systemworks tells me there is nothing wrong with the drive. I have that HDD on my third IDE channel (I have RAID on my mobo, but I'm using them as extra IDE channels). There are no other problems on my system, and a virus scan comes up negative.
I'm trying to avoid formatting the drive, especially since I'm not sure if that would solve anything.
Any help for this would be appreciated...thanks.
