ScanDisk Refers to Volume Label as File (129891)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q129891

SYMPTOMS

When you run ScanDisk, you may receive the following error message
The <drive> folder contains incorrect information about the <name> file.
where <drive> is the hard disk's drive letter and <name> is the hard disk's volume label.

CAUSE

ScanDisk checks for and corrects invalid characters in the hard disk's volume label, but incorrectly reports such errors as problems with a file.

Note that there is no danger in permitting ScanDisk to correct the invalid characters.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 95. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
