I have seen this before and if I remember correctly it is because you probably don't have permission to it. You must make yourself the owner first and then wack it. Rob Thane Sherrington wrote: I have a piece of spyware that won't allow me to delete the registry key (in safemode or not)

Thanks for your response. The drive mounts fine - initially. It gets a drive letter OK; I can open 'some' folders and view files OK; but when I try to COPY, I get file read errors often enough to be a royal PITA. There is over 200 MB of files and folders on that Cruzer. Easily more than 2,000
