| | Can't delete other vista installation from drive Hi all. I have the beta version of Vista on my D: partition. It's wasting a ton of space. When I try to delete it, Vista says I don't have permission. I'm the owner and tried altering the properties of the directory but no joy. Any suggestions? TIA, j |
