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.
