Subject: Files keep disappearing from the winnt dir

 

I am having a sort of weird problem on one of my NT4.0 SP6a servers. A while back I had to clean the server - chkdsk - seemed to work ok.

 

After that this problem keeps occurring. One day I noticed that the files - not any directories just files -  in the c:\winnt directory were gone except for two of them. I copied the files from another identical NT box in to this server's winnt directory. A day or so later they were gone again. I copied them into the dir again, a day later they are gone. I KNOW that the server does not have any viruses. I can only figure that the server may have a corrupt file system and needs to be cleaned once more.

 

Any suggestions?
