Start Safe Mode Cannot Delete File - Source File Not Found

Mar 20, 2007

I read the advice to start in safe mode to delete files that gave the errror message cannot delet file - source file not found. They wouldn't delete in Safe Mode either. I am trying to delete mp3 from my c drive because I have an external disk where I have my music library. I can delete them one at a time without getting the error message but not a bunch of them. Some of them I have been able to delete in a bunch.

Cannot Delete File - Read From The Source File Or Disk?

Jul 18, 2005

I cant deleted this file on my desktop. It is an empty file(0 bytes), I tried renaming it and tried deleting it in safe mode. still I get " Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk." I did a search for the file and nothing shows! not even the actual file that is on my desktop. So used "registry cleaner" to see if it will delete it...nope. I tried safe mode again and the same problem. I ran AVG, Norton, Escan, Hijack, all came clean. nothing wrong.

Virus Cannot Delete Cannot Read From Source File

Jul 16, 2010

My comp recently just caught an virus and I have tired many anti-virus programs to remove it and so far, no luck.Avast reported the file that is infected, but is unable to delete it. So I decided to check it myself, it's a file in my systems/drivers and when I tired to delete it. It saids the following "Cannot delete uwvwibuv: Cannot read from the source file or disk.". I have tired using "Unlock" to delete it, doesn't work.Note, this virus is also causing all my anti-virus programs not to connect online, so I cannot update them. I have tried using Malwarebytes-antiware, doesn't detect it. I can't use system restore because it's being blocked by group policy after "I caught the virus" (Worked before).I had tired running in safe mode, checking task for unknown programs, and I can't delete it.

Upon Start - AutoChk.exe File Not Found

Dec 20, 2007

When i start my system i get a blue screen which says "AutoChk.exe program not found- skipping AUTOCHECK"

http://img184.imageshack.us/img184/8427/chked0.jpg

The system then starts and i can see no noticeable difference. At first i ignored it and put off looking into it. It is too late to do a system restore. I have had this issue for probably almost 6 months.

I did a search and my problem seems to be a bit different than others issues people have had with this file. When i go to the system32 folder the file is there

Error Copying File: Cannot Read From Source Or Disk

May 26, 2008

I am encountering this error when copying a large number of files from one external hard drive to another. I have Windows XP. A number of files will copy prior to the error occurring. The error occurs when the copying process reaches a file that my Trend Micro security software had identified as a virus and had quarantined.
Instead of simply skipping the file that cannot be copied and moving to the next, Windows Explorer displays the error "Error copying file: cannot read from source or disk" and aborts the copying process, leaving the copying process only partially complete. Copying each folder or file individually to avoid encountering the error would be very time consuming.
