OFF TOPIC: Program to write to FAT32

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message

Folks, I've got a problem...

A program I'm using at work crashed, and from what I can tell,
it wrote some data to my hard disk's FAT32 (a Win95 system.)

Does anyone know of or have any program (preferably freeware,
but I'm getting desperate) that will let you *write* to the
FAT32, or to the disk cluster of your choice?

This incident, after ScanDisk got done 'fixing' things, put a
bad directory on my C:\ root. The directory just needs to be
gotten rid of... setting that "I'm deleted" flag would be enough.
But if I try to use any sort of DOS or Windows deletion command
or tool, it'll try to delete internal files and subdirectories.
There are none, but the bad data in the clusters makes it think
there is a subdirectory. This 'subdirectory', when opened, leads
to... the C:\ root. (And to think I used to like recursion before
this happened.)

Anyone? Help!
