Unregistered user I'm running RISC OS 3.7 on an SA RPC.

I've got a directory on my hard disc which I can't delete. When I try I get this error message:

"Unrecoverable error

(prefetch abort)

must exit immediately"

Can anyone shed any light on this for me please?

I recommend downloading the DiscKnight checker from http://www.armclub.org.uk/products/discknight/index.html and seeing what that says. I had exactly the same problem (undeletable directory), and the full copy fixed it.

ATB,
Matthew

Unregistered user I am having a disc problem on a SA RPC with RO 3.7 and downloaded DiscKnight earlier tonight but it always gives me the not so informative error 'C63' and then loads the Guide. What am I missing?
