Hi
I wonder if you can help? I have just installed ERASER, but keep getting the followinbg error message when erasing a file...

Failures:
Error: Failed to clean directory entries from drive C:\, there was something not quite right with the file system. You may want to run ScanDisk.

I have ran scandisk, installed/unistalled ERASER several times, but to no avail.
I am running Windows98.
Thank you
John
 
The error message means that Eraser found something from the FAT table it doesn't understand, and chose not to proceed further to prevent any damage.

You could try defragmenting the drive and see if that helps. If not, could you please tell us a bit more about your system and its configuration?
