Hi all,
some months ago I deleted my old windows 2k installation dirs and
reinstalled win2k
(I renamed C:/winnt and /program files dirs to *.OLD from DOS, and
then installed win2k-
didn't need to reformat the disk). It works fine except the old
winnt.old won't delete completely, because it has some strange files
inside /system32, 2 gigs worth:
of 32k files that show no name or date (or any other attribute except a
file icon) in explorer,
multiple *empkey files where instead of the * there appears a square
symbol,
a *ystem file withe the same symbol, and SYSTEM file with 2 gigs.
All of those files, when deleted from DOS Window or Explorer, yields
the error:
Everything else in the winnt.old dir has been deleted.
"Cannot delete file: cannot read from the source file or disk"
Thanks for reading
PS its an 80gb Fat32 partition.
