New I'm confused.

our little intruders left a file called com1(apparently) than cannot be deleted. "Access is denied" I have moved the tree to the temp dir but would like to get rid of it. Any ideas short of RRR?

The tree you moved includes the offending "com1 "? If so, then you should be able to move it to another disk, e.g. a floppy. That is, if you could move it you should be able to delete it.

I'm confused why the unix utilities haven't taken care of it when they're supposed to work with files like this. Are you sure there's not some permission issue? Have you tried doing this stuff logged in as "Administrator" or whatever NT4 calls superuser?

Another option is to boot OS/2 or Linux from floppies with the appropriate NTFS drivers and do your magic there. But that shouldn't be necessary...

I hope you get this figured out. It has to be a solvable problem without reformatting...

Cheers,
Scott.

New it is being resxolved by building a linux ftp server
to replace the NT one so it can be managed properly. It still irritates me that I cant figure it out. :)

Move on the same disk is a rename move to another disk is copy then delete and doesnt work.

thanx,
bill
