   You can try this if DIR returns an errorlevel.   
      
   You will not see any output until the pause appears at the end, and check your   
   desktop for a log.txt   
   file.   
      
      
   @echo off   
   for /d /r "c:\" %%a in (*) do (   
      dir "%%a" /b /-p >nul 2>&1 || (echo failed: "%%a">>"%userprof   
   le%\desktop\log.txt")   
   )   
   pause
