SYMPTOMS
When a disk stores a file that has lowercase letters in its filename, ScanDisk does not find any problems with the file structure, even though you cannot gain access to the file.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, rename or delete the file by using wildcards, or use a third-party program such as Norton's DiskEdit to change the lowercase letters.

NOTE: Lowercase letters can sometimes occur as a result of using Microsoft Undelete for Windows, version 6.0. For specific workaround information, please see the following article(s) in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

98404 "Using MS Undelete to Restore Files with Existing Filenames"



MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in MS-DOS version 6.22. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
