Some unwanted read-only files appears

[sccat]

I was copying some files and suddenly the power lost.

When I enter Puppy later,I found some unwanted read-only files appeared in the directory I was working.And I can't delete them because they are read-only.

How to fix it in Puppy?

Thanks.

you can do that with rox.

right-click, "permissions".

Or in a Console-window:

cd /thefolder
chmod 755 thefile

I recommend using midnight commander plus. It will burn any file you wish.
Just hover over it, press File, then delete. Mu and his suggestion is good as well. But mc has many other features which will help you along the way.

But the files are strange,I can't delete them.

In uxplor

try

rm -r /mnt/cdrive/Dotpup/lib/modules/2.4.29/fs

or
rm -r /mnt/cdrive/Dotpup/lib/modules/2.4.29/fs/*

That should delete the whole folder.

Can you save a file to another folder on that drive?

I not only can not rm the files,but also can not ls them.

ok, as it seems to be a windows-drive, you might have luck with a windows-disk.
http://bootdisk.com/

You might download a win98 -startdisk, and run scandisk or chkdsk to check that drive.

Another way might be, to backup working files with tar
tar -czvf folder1.tgz /mnt/windows2/Puppy
tar -czvf folder2.tgz /mnt/windows2/zry
and so on. Then format the drive.
But you seem to have a "grub"-folder there. If there is a bootsector on that drive used by grub, you can not back it up like this.
