In this age of computers, how is it possible to be doing normal reads and writes on a harddrive, and overwrite the $MFT or FAT of a drive???

And in related OT topic, why can a file be "in use by another process", when it was one of a million written and closed by an app, and never again opened, yet winxpee says i cannot rename it, write to it, or delete it, but the other 999,999 files are fine??

Oh, and then there's the directories where there's no files, hidden or unhidden, and windoze says the directory is not empty, so it cannot be deleted or renamed?? Rebooting can fix this problem, but i am seldom in a position i can reboot a computer whenever i want.

Are there fixes to these problems?
