| 430255 | 2006-02-14 06:48:00 | I was scrolling through one of my portable hard drives today. I checked a folder I thought I had deleted. It had a massive file in it. When I use exploring to view details it says: Name size Last accessed ~ +a 1,685,243,345 22-10-2014 It won't open in anything It has no properties other than it has no size on the disk and it won't let me delete it any suggestions please many thanks, Ojos |

| 430257 | 2006-02-15 06:57:00 | I was wondering if there was anyway I can find out what the file is as I don't recall ever having a file thatr size on the drive. O |

| 430259 | 2006-02-16 00:31:00 | Don't panic. It isn't a file. It's just a corrupted directory entry. (Maybe it was unplugged while the directory was being written out to it). Scandisk should fix it, by removing that entry, if you can't do it from the Explorer view. | Graham L (2) | ||
