 Thread : Access denied to large files moved...

Hello all, let me give you the rundown.  I have a few folders in my 2nd partition giving me this error "folder is not accessible, access is denied."  They contain 3 very large 3-4gb files that were working right before I tried to organize them and move them to a different directory (cut and paste).  I've tried disabling the simple file sharing and gaining access to them again, but it won't work.
 
I was a fool and did not defrag my drive for months, the whole partition was in red.  While defragging with Diskeeper it does show the files that I'm missing as the most fragmented files.  When I rebooted, WinXP ran a chkdsk on the partition and found a bunch of errors and fixed them.  Ran Diskeeper again, and one of the large files is still fragmented, so defragged it.  
 
So if Diskeeper can still see these files, then there must be a way to see them with another program or some trick to this.  What do you guys think?  I can't delete the folders either.
 
Running WinXP Pro SP2.

Do a "Restore" using a point before the date the problem appeared.
 
Do a little research at MS knowledge base to learn how.
