The folder that wouldnt die...

i have a folder on my hard drive, theres nothing in it, it shows as 0 bytes but i cant get into it... i cant delete it, i cant remove it before boot up, i cant get wrid of it using a cmd prompt. ive had it for the last year but now ive got a new drive and ive just ghosted on to it but alass ive also managed to copy the un movable file, (which at least tells me it wasnt a bad sector or some such on my old drive)

any clues ?

its just so odd, the folder is 0 bytes, its not locked, im a system admin, there are no bad sectors or lost clusters. its just strange :confused:

i didnt create it, one day it was just there, a random bunch of numbers and letters, about 5 folders deep, each with nothing in them, each with a random name...

well in the process of merging a partition ive destroyed my C drive D drive and lost about 8 months of stuff

thank god i backed up most of it... grrrr. but at least i will be able to get wrid of that blooming folder...

no ftp servers were running and the drives have now been formatted
