Well I have the "Folder from Hell" on 6.0.5. It appeared in the root directory,
can't trash it, and fedit says "Expected Catalog file record not found in
Extent file. This disk may have a problem." MacTools and DiskTop see 2 files
in the folder, but they're not invisible and I still can't see them.

I have a problem. Can't afford NU. How do I fix this without it. Please don't 
tell me to back up and reformat, I am finishing my MS and just don't have the 
time!
 
How can avoid getting the same problem in the future?? Is it possible that some
bug in an application created this ?


Ppppppllease help.

Thanks.
