I have a boot Windows 2003 volume with \Program Files folder redirected to
another volume before installing the system. I like this approach, but now I
faced a weird problem.

Once the Volume ID (like 6f19b2bb-77af-11d7-b00c-005056c00008) of this junct
volume has changed: I used Partition Magic from a parallel XP installation
to resize my Programs volume.

Now the Windows 2003 does not see its own Programs folder, and I can do
nothing with the old reparse point: I can't even delete it with
mountvol.exe: "Access is denied"


I would highly appreciate the instructions to manually edit the NTFS reparse
point with some tool or (preferable, of cource) any safer solution.


TIA,
Lev
