   System Volume Information needed   
   03 Aug 10 18:41:58   
   
   From: wa0goz@arrl.net   
      
   I'm running a 3GHZ Dell with 2G RAM and WINXP Pro SP2 and a Seagate   
   500GB external Hard Drive.   
      
   I won't bother your or embarrass me by stating I that I now have a   
   folder on my Seagate drive entitled "System Volume Information" which   
   doesn't belong there.  It has zero folders, zero files and zero bits   
   of information in it.  It has a grayed out Read Only box under   
   properties.  I've turned off System Restore for this drive, I've of   
   course tried delete, and I've reformatted this drive twice.  I can not   
   get rid of the folder.  Again, it's on my external hard drive, drive   
   (K:\), it's *not* the one on my C:\ drive which I know enough to leave   
   alone.   
      
   Does any one know how I can get rid of this folder please?   
      
   Thanks,
