| 768243 | 2009-04-25 09:43:00 | Hi people Windows XP and a Maxtor 160g external usb hard drive...I have some large game files that I want to delete off the external drive...But I cant delete them, It is a game folder with many files and folders in it, I can delete some files and not others. I get a message saying the file or directory are corrupted and unreadable?? Do I have to format the drive to fix this?? Could this be a faulty drive? Its only 6 months old. Out of interest I tried to over write the files with the original ones still on my c drive, and get the same message. Any suggestions?? Thanks. | G-Boy (6793) | ||
