That's
kind of what I was thinking. THe files system is corrupt. The server is
still working fine
Hi,
Intrigued, and
I thought it was just me.
Recently I spoke to an admin who was telling me
the same thing.
He lost all his printers, and
then some of his .dll's went missing
too.
No idea what is going on, but his
PDC is grinding away like a concrete making
machine.
Is it possible that the mft is
corrupted, possibly caused by wear and tear, (the server hasn't been
reimaged or re-installed for over 5 years.)

Subject: RE: Files keep disappearing from the winnt
dir
I
have been running this system for about 5 years, been in the business
for about 17 years. What I am saying is that the files are gone. Vanished.
Not there. Thyey are missing. If I try to run explorer from the start menu,
nothing happens. So, I go to start > run > and run the explorer.exe
which I have stored away in a seperate directory in case it vanishes from
the winnt dir.
I
am just asking if anyone has had the occasion of, maybe a corrupt system,
and has experienced this before? I don't think any other files are missing,
could be but I know the ones in the winnt are missing. I can copy them in
there, see them, run them, and 30 minutes later they are not there. Take my
statement literally...the files are gone, caput, vanished, not visible and
all other meanings of "not there" etc. :)))))))
John
I have to ask too: When you say the files are
missing - and yet you can run explorer from CMD - are you saying you can't
see them in Explorer or can't you see them from cmd prompt. Or - even
better - if you boot from floppy to cmd prompt are they there then?
Is it FAT or NTFS partition? Are other files 'missing' in other
directories?

I am the admin. I can login ok, but I can't run the explorer. I
have to do a start > run > explorer. I've placed it in a different
area. Remember, only the "files" are missing in the winnt dir. There is
not much in there that you need to login.
John
I have to ask, how is it that you are able to log in if all of
the files in the winnt directory are gone? Are you sure that you
can't see them but they are there?

No,
actually, I haven't. that server is not involved in any email
clients or not used by anyone. It is a backup server tied
to one other server. That's
it.

Just for the halibut, have you run a
full AV scan on this server?
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?

Hi there guys,
I am
new to the list and have been lurking the last few days, I
must say there is a lot of knowledge that flows through here,
I would like to try and tap some.
I am running an NT4 server with SP6a, using a
product called Wingate('cos I don't know how to use Proxy) as
a web sharing proxy box. Occasionally I get this Out of
Buffers errror. I have searched the wingate kb and MS
but am struggling to find a solution. Any ideas?
Regards,
Jason Dwyer
