I have updated and was running a full scan. It works fine on the main drive. It was working fine on the portable (f) drive up to a point. If I hit ok on the error message, it scans about 5 more files, then the error again. I attached a screen shot. The files names appears corrupt. Any suggestions?Doc1.docDoc1.doc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted November 8, 2008 Root Admin ID:34054 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Try running a DISK CHECK on the Portable drive.Click on START - RUN and type in CMD and hit OKThat will put you in a DOS box. From there type this and hit the Enter KeyCHKDSK F: /FWhere F: is the letter of the portable drive. IF your portable drive is on another letter then substitute the command with the correct drive letter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got this:...windows is verifying files and folders...unrecoverable error in folder \1zenmusic. Convert folder to file (y/n)?That folder was not the folder being scanned at the time of the error; however, when viewing that folder plus two others through explorer the subfolders and files are weird.All symbols, boxes, letters, and random characters.Will choosing yes to convert make a difference? That particular folder had about 20 subfolders with 2100 files (mp3). (10 Gigs) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeanInMontana Posted November 9, 2008 ID:34074 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Have you tried a quick scan? It will be just as effective. What antivirus do you use? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
