I am posting this for a colleague whose macII almost died yesterday of a hard disk crash. SUM's guardian managed to restore the disk to working order - it was otherwise unmountable. Hip Hip Hoorah! But the file TMON has been corrupted. Error -43 File not found when trying to access the file, and it shows up as something over 1000 meg in get info. The problem is it can't be deleted or replaced. How can this file be removed, short of erasing the hard disk and starting over. Thank you for your help.

This has happened to me too many times. I get usualy get evil folders that will not be thrown away. I will try all the usual tricks: Reboot. Rebuild desktop. Disk first aid. ResEdit. FEdit. I have recently resorted to backing up the hard disk and reformatting to get rid of these things. Can someone out there tell why the finder puts evil spirits in random folders and how to get rid of them! -randel -- | well!farcomp!randel@apple.com | If you can't | | {apple,pacbell}!well!farcomp!randel | look lively...| | In real life: Randel B.
