What do you do when you get an error like : Errror, Disk write protected.
from DOS when you try and delete a file?  It only occurs for that
file and no others on the same disk.  I check the read/write attributes for
that file and they are all clear.  I am unable to get rid of the
file.  If I search the disk for the name of the file (using norton or
similar utilities) I find nothing.  I can't find where this file starts
or anything peculiar about it that would prevent me from erasing it.
HAs anyone had this happen?

Any ideas at all are more than welcome!
thanks
marcell
