this one is odd:
I have two partitions on my computer, one for linux (ubuntu 12.latest) and one for window 7. I use grub to choose the system to boot. I made a Screenshot in Linux and saved it on the windows partition, which is mounted in linux with nautilus.
the filename is, or was, i cannot tell if it still exists in reality:
Screenshot from 2012-08-19 11:01:53.png
and it is (or was) saved in the windows Desktop folder (c:\Users\<name>\Desktop).
The file never worked because windows told me its demaged, but that does not matter just because I want to delete it now, but I cannot.
I tried the dir /X
- trick, but no short name is generated for this file, I tried the \\?\c:...
- syntax trick, but it tells me:
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
and I finally tried to delete it within linux, where for the first try the files could not be deleted and didn't exist anymore at the second try.
I tried a chkdsk
and it told me: disk is clean
.
BTW.: I saved another file from linux on the desktop, this time with a valid name and it appears in linux, but not in windows.
What is going on here?
Greetings....
EDIT::
I tried FAR but:
every kind of file action (i.e. renaming, move and so on) leads to an error.
