I'm kinda stumped here with a little problem that I've brought onto myself and I'm writing here in the hopes that someone can shed some light on how to fix this mess.
This morning, I moved a very large directory into another folder (within the same volume) and without thinking, I moved it again to a sub-directory. My XP Home system churned away for a couple of minutes and finally gave up with a error message saying that it was unable to create a directory.
Right now, the original folder appears to be where I originally moved it, except that if I try to access it, I get an "access is denied" message and the system shows it with zero bytes in size. If I go to the sub-directory (the second location I tried to move it to), I can see a handful of moved folders but they are all zero bytes in size and I get an "access is denied" message for each of them as well.
I've tried running chkdsk with the /f flag and it found nothing wrong.
Can anyone please point me towards a possible solution for this?
Thanks in advance...
