I originally installed Vista Beta 2 to my D drive because I wanted to have dual boot capability with XP. I have now decided since the computer is just a test box (read spare computer) I no longer need dual boot capabilities. So, I reinstalled Vista Beta 2 to my C drive (Vista Install formatted C drive for me).
The install was succesful and Vista Beta 2 is working good. My problem is, I now have a "Windows" folder on my D drive that takes up 7+ gigabytes of space. I tried deleting the folder, but security reasons won't let me. I really don't want to reformat my D drive so, what I'm asking is, is there a way to delete the Windows folder on my D drive?
Thanks Walt

deleting windows directory?
I also am in the same situation with not being able to delete the extra windows folder on my d drive. I have a 120 gig hard drive with over 45 gigs of that being music and i DO NOT want to have to format my D: drive just to recover those 9+ gigs of space.
