Don't kill me for this, I know it's offtopic.
But, whenever I try to move, rename, copy, delete, whatever a file, I get a "File system error (1026)" Yes I've rebooted, and programs can still work with files, but I can't. Also, in the properties window, no file attributes are reported. Looks like Windows bit the dust, but does anyone else have any ideas? ananasMar 20, 2001, 10:18am

Ran scandisk (or equivalent)?
Ran defrag (or equivalent)? Does it happen in every directory/disk, or only certain directories/one disk? In case you get the error in some directories/disks only, how many files/directories are there in the directories that give you a problem? Do you have fat16 or fat32? How much free space do you have? :-) Go to google (www.google.com) and search for "file system error (1026)", see if something comes up. Good chance a bunch of people already encountered this problem and put their solutions online. rolu jfk2Mar 20, 2001, 4:49pm
Well.. Guess what... My nextdoor neighbor had that same problem
right around New Years day on his PC. I did all the standard tests. Scandisk the drives & checked for surface scan... NOTHING Wrong. And we thought there might be a virus since he didn't do virus scanners...MS-Dos F-Prot Virus Scan. NOPE he was very lucky there. WHAT our TECH friend discovered was his 1.6 gig hard drive... It was trying to make it's new home somewhere in the south [DYING] so you just might have to get yourself another hard drive. wing <bathgate at prodigy.net> wrote in <3ab73dee at server1.Activeworlds.com>: >Don't kill me for this, I know it's offtopic. >But, whenever I try to move, rename, copy, delete, whatever a file, >I get a >"File system error (1026)" >Yes I've rebooted, and programs can still work with files, >but I can't.

I kina guessed what they would say...turn off the recycle bin :) You got too many files! Most likely this is virus-related.

Microsoft just provides a fertile medium for them to grow. :)

Well, thanks for all the help. It went away. I don't know why or how. Cuz I
dunno either. Only reasonable explaination is that everything goes to hell when I do anything related to school. 100% of all my equipment failures have occured during homework. Maybe AMD added some AI functions to the Duron 700 but disabled them and they've come back to life after mad overclocking. YES WING, I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE THINKING [View Quote] roluMar 21, 2001, 8:03pm

If they have something usefull in it, google will usually show it somewhere
in the first found links. Plus anything found outside the knowledge base. rolu j b e l lMar 22, 2001, 10:21pm
