So this is kinda complex, let me see if I can break it down:
1. I had XP installed on my computer as my primary OS.
2. I wanted to test out vista, so I installed it on my secondary hard drive and ran it in dual boot with XP.
3. Decided I'd switch to vista so I formatted c:\ and installed Vista.
4. I still have the folder from the old install of Vista back when it was a dual boot on my d:\.
5. The new Vista, now primary OS with no dual boot, won't let me delete the old folder of the old, dual boot copy of Vista.
6. I've taken ownership and set privileges in the security tab but it still says access denied....the same applies for the program files folder on the same drive from the same copy of Vista.
How do I delete this damn thing? It's 7 gig!
