I just discovered that I have a bunch of wonderful files on my hard disk that I
simply can NOT erase. I am using SpartaDOS X. I downloaded the files into a
subdirectory previously, and successfully un-arced them. Then I lost those
copies, and downloaded them again. Now they will not delete, and they also can
not be un-arced. It is my suspicion that the sector maps for these files may
somehow have been corrupted. Is there any way at all that I can fix these
things up, or will I have to archive and reformat (yet again!!!)?
