Deleting Corrupted Files

Hmmmm, you think Linux could do it?

I have no doubt it could but you have to agree that regardless of whatever
OS (includin Win2k itself) it would do it by direct access to disk. In both
cases, one would expose itself to the risks of direct disk modification.

As Knopix does not use Microsoft engine to edit the file system it CAN'T
know all the tricks MS uses on NTFS5. I used Knopix once and the tool
available to me then said that NTFS4 is usable at my own risk and the
recommend to "USE NTFS5 SUPPORT IN READ ONLY MODE!!!".
It's a 700+meg image file.

Uhm, I had a 60 M version? It must have been old :)
Or, my windows blew up and I need the data off the drive before I
repartition.

You can get that without other OSs, as I recall, unless your file system
is dead. With the install disk.
Perhaps it could have a shot at nuking the ghost file.....

If someone actually gives it a whack, PLEASE tell me how the name looked
like. Or whatever it was that kept it from being deleted. I'm dead curious.
