i am currently experiencing a network health problem that is being caused by 4 no. corrupt files within one of my music folders. Basically a cyclic redundancy file error. I know i need to delete these files but i cant just do it from the share folder i need to do it via a command prompt. i have looked at the microsft home server help forum and i understand the D:\shares part of it to locate the files i just dont know how to execute the attrib -h [[Drive:][Path] FileName] /s /d and hit enterTo delete the file, type DEL [filename] and hit enter command ?

basically im asking what do i actually have to type to be able to execute this command as i do not understand what im suppose to be typing in ? can someone please help me as its driving me nuts

Could it be you found the bad file while trying to play it. Using for example twonky?
I have had that type of issue because twonky takes ownership of the file.
even during updating the twonky database.
I would turn off the folder in twonky settings, then reboot the server and try to delete it again.

The path would convert from to something like . We would need to know what errors and what files to be more exact than that. A screenshot may help.

the error message is cannot delete 08 : data error (cyclic redundancy check)

thanks for helping me with this so can you type out what i need to do with this please ..
many thanks

I'd run a full chkdsk on the drives first and then when complete reboot and see if the error has gone. Only after that process would I start trying to remove files. Below is a good example of a batch file to do that for you. It may take some time to complete but let it do so.

"You can use the following batch file to force chkdsk on all your drives. Copy the code below and paste it into notepad, then save it (on your server) as e.g. "checkall.cmd":"
