G'day all.
I wish to delete the pup-save file stretch-save-pup.2fs
I try this with Rox Filer.
When I select the file and 'delete' I read the error message:
Input/output error.
and
There was one error.
I cannot delete the file - even when I run Tahr Pup,
advice about what's going on here is welcome!

You cannot delete a pupsave file while in use.
So it is quite surprising indeed that you cannot delete a save file for stretch
while the TahrPup is using its own.
Do you remember playing with its permissions, perhaps?

Hello Musher:
Thank you for your reply. You ask, "Did I play with permissions?"
Your "Q" prompted me to consider the symptoms.
i NOW CONSIDER THE PROBLEM IDENTIFIED AND POTENTIALLY RESOLVED.
THANKS MUSHER!
For anyone interested: Read below.
I note that permissions are given as: rwx, rwx, rwx.
I am operating as root.
I can write to sda1 - the drive where stretch-pup-save is located.
This is a frugal installation.
I confirm I am using Tahr-Pup - booted without the Tahr-save option.
This info strongly supports the idea that I have a hardware problem.
Recent discovery: Dr. Google says: "Input/Output errors during file-system access attempts generally mean hardware issues."
Sometimes a 'nudge' is enough to set the grey matter on the right track.
Extra info:
(1) I note that some files on sda1 are accessible. (Checked one or two)
(2) I note the the file system on sda1 is NTFS.
(3) I observed that I could NOT boot stretch puppy WITH THE SAVE FILE.
I am booting with a live CD.
(4) I observed that I CAN boot stretch puppy WITHOUT the save file.
(5) Using Puppy Linux identifying/resolving the problem will be straightforward.
(6) Using Windows I would need to re-install everything.
Puppy Linux is a friendly OS!!
THANKS MUSHER

@Les:-
One small point. I do hope that when you re-create a new 'stretch-save', you create it as ext3 instead.
Ext2 is known to corrupt easily, despite the fact it's the recommended one to use with,say, a flash drive.....because of the lack of overhead of the 'journalling' that's built-in to ext3. That additional overhead is what enables an ext3 file-system to recover from errors, when combined with the e2fsck command.
