Problems upgrading to Windows 2000 from '98

I have windows 98 on my computer, I have tried to upgrade to win 2000 but
during installating when the software is "checking files" or something like
that the upgrade software hangs and I have to cancel the upgrade.

Upon further inspection I discovered that the directory that the program is
hanging up on is a corrupted directory for some reason, when I try to delete
the files in the directory I get error messages. I have tried numerous things
to get these files deleted so that i can finally upgrade to win2000, PLEASE
help me.

My email is

What have you tried? Run Scandisk to find and fix any errors in the file
system, then try deleting these files again.
