OFF TOPIC: Program to write to FAT32

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! Rod Jackson
