| Guest | Unable to delete Vista RC2 installation on another hard drive Hello- I just upgraded to RTM on my main drive. I'd like to delete the folders for a Vista RC2 installation that's on another drive. I've (temporarily) turned off UAC, given ownership of the folder to the Administrators group (which my account is a member of) and given the Admin group Full Control. I still get a "You need permission to perform this action" dialog when I attempt to delete. Can someone please tell me what I need to do? Thanks much!! |

| Guest | RE: Unable to delete Vista RC2 installation on another hard drive Right-click Computer, Manage, Disk Management then right-click on the drive and delete it, repartition and format it.

| Guest | RE: Unable to delete Vista RC2 installation on another hard drive I realized that I needed UAC turned on in order to confirm the process to delete it!
