Windows have some critical system files or directories which cannot be
deleted or even read thus protecting the operating system from
accidental removal or malicious exploit software.
eg. Windows XP Pro on NTFS:
x:\System Volume Information
x:\hiberfil.sys
x:\pagefile.sys

Hope this help :)

Hi Mike,
When you reinstall you need to Delete all the Created partitons before and
recreate them again and then select one as Active Partition say as always C:\
is the active partition and select to do the install on it pay attention to
the list of optio represented to you and foramt the Partition before
install/Copy the Operation system files to ready for install, then all
files/folders on this Partition will be deleted a you will start new from
scratch and when Set up start and Input the product key and set up accounts
login and Format D:\ partition too to make ready for use.
Hope this helps
Regards
