ScanDisk did not find any errors on this drive.

As you can see it seem's all the errors were in MSDOS and
all related to Macromedia Flash Player'And this time
around I ignored them all.My question's are'are all these
files safe to simply delete and even if so is there a
better way to go about fixing these errors than deleting
the files in question and even another question is would I
have to delete them in MSDOS Mode since that's the mode
the errors effect?Also is there a way I can prevent
Macromedia Flash from making so many character's in it's
MSDOS file names? Thanks in advance for any input on this.

I don't think there is any way to prevent Macromedia from
creating these folders and if you delete or change them, it=20
might not work properly. If the log entries bother you, start
ScanDisk, click "Advanced" and uncheck the box that refers
to DOS name length errors.

Thanks for the response Ben actually unless MSDos name
errors involving to many characters can affect the
performance of the system I probably wont worry about
them'I noticed that when I change scandisk back to
automatically fix errors it didnt find the previous errors
even though I never fixed or changed them in any way,I
felt I should ask about that and the DOS mode errors since
I'm really not sure what they say about my systems
performance. Once again thanks for your fast response.
