Title: Message

Try marking the files as read-only or set perms to readonly so you cant delete the files without reseting the perms. If it is a process (virus or otherwise) that is deleting the files it will fail. If the behavior continues you may need to replace the HD.   xylog -----Original Message----- From: John Cesta - Lists [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, September 28, 2001 1:40 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Files keep disappearing from the winnt dir     I just ran an AV on the server.

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?   John Cesta Want to unsub?
