| Guest | Problem deleting vista RC windows folder and program files folder Hello, I have a PC with two hard drives configured as basic disks. On one disk I have an install of Vista Business and on the other I have a old install of a Vista release canidate. The partition with the Vista RC files now being used for storage. I have tried to delete the Windows and Program Files folders as my normal Vista user account, and using the hidden Administrator account. The dialog box when I try to perform a file operation (delete the folder), tells me "You need permission to perform this action". The NTFS permissions for the folders are unavailable so I couldn't take ownership as Administrator. Any suggestions please? I would like to reclaim this 15 or so GB's of storage. -- Regards, Rob Holmes MCP, MCDST |
