I have recently run into a problem I cannot figure out. Off of my
root directory I have a directory called "lisp". In trying to make
space the other day I decided to remove all of the files and the
directory. First I removed all of the files in the directory and 
then I tried "rmdir lisp" when in the root. When I did this it gave
me a message telling me that the file could not be found or that 
the directory was not empty or that path was incorrect. I tried
several combinations to remove the file and none worked. I tried
using "XTREE" and it gave me a message that "the disk had been
modified".  I would like to remove this file but cannot figure out
how. Any help would be appreciated. I have access to Norton Utilities
if needs be. 

If someone could mail me the info on how to get the directory out
I would be very grateful. 

Thanks.
