Howdy!
I have a computer that failed on the SP2 upgrade (4 of 5 computers in the
office successful). For various reasons, installed a new larger hard drive,
reinstalled XP, Office, other applications, etc.; everything is fine.
The original hard drive I have set up as a slave in the same machine. I am
able to access my various documents and files. I am going to use this slave
drive as a network share and I am in the process of deleted the old Program
Files, the old Windows Directory, etc. to free up space.
However, two of the directories I get an ACCESS DENIED error while trying to
view or delete. I believe the directories were created as temp directories
during the failed SP2 install.
Directory Names:
D:\ 4e0c9325ea2f30b2dd399c07457667
D:\ d036f9f9c2349d8fd5
I even tried booting from the WinXP CD to the recovery console and attempted
to delete the directories from the command line; same error.
Is there an attribute or something I am missing on the directories?
Any help much appreciated
Thanks!

PS - FYI, I did following the steps using the recovery console to 'rollback'
the windows XP SP2 install and it also failed.
