Help me take back my computer!

OK, heres the thing.

Installed Windows Vista, after playtime had finished deleted the entry in the boot file and began deleting its left overs. I have a Windows folder and two Program Files folders taking 1.5gb which I would like back.

However, evil ntfs appears to have done everything (I can think of) to secure these folders, I have full ownership, used safe mode, real dos mode, full permissions etc, but I just cannot turn off read only, delete or whatever - Access is always denied.

There is nothing more frustrating then having the computer have one up on me...please help

What you need is a boot disk that allows you to see NTFS partitions without invoking windows, you would then run from the bootdisk and well do whatever you like really.

If you go here you can get one!

EDIT: You could also try Unlocker Unlocker is an explorer extension that allows you with a simple right-click of the mouse on a file or folder to get rid of error message such as error deleting file or folder, cannot delete folder: it is used by another person or program etc...

Try it.
