Default Can't rename or delete a file - File system error (1026)

thomas,

Please don't multi-post your questions. If you really think more than one
newsgroup can help, address the initial post to all the appropriate NGs (no
more than a few, please). That way, when we read it in one group, and it
gets marked read, it gets marked read everywhere.

For what it's worth, you aren't likely to find any better answer to your
question than in the General Discussion group, provided you give us a chance
to fully understand your problem.

I was attempting to backup my Windows98 Favorites onto a floppy, when I got
this error message:

"Cannot copy (file name) : Cannot find the specified file. Make sure you
specify the correct path and file name."

The named file was without a link icon (the blue "e" with the arrow),
which
indicated to me that it lacked its file association. So I attempted to add
the .URL extension. I got the following error message:

"Cannot rename file. File system error (1026)."

So I attempted to just delete the file. I got the following error message:

"Cannot delete file. File system error (1026)."

Now what? Until I fix "File system error (1026)," I am unable to do a
backup
of this folder.

Thanks for any help.
