Hi peeps,
I got a lil' problem. Some weeks ago I installed the beta of Windows Vista. After trying it, I decided I wanted to go back to XP so I installed XP again. After having XP installed on my pc again, I wanted to remove the old files of Vista. Somehow, these files can't be deleted! Programs such as Kil!box, Unlocker or GIPO utils won't sufice.
I tried everything within my knowledge to remove this 7GB file.. 
Any suggestions? I'm running out of diskspace! D:

Serves you right for installing another crap product from microsoft
Erm, reboot into safe mode and delete from there? That usually works.

I'll try that, thanks. 
Formatting isnt an option, yet. Command prompt with exporer shut down didn't work either btw.
Formatting is always an option.
If you were using linux, this wouldn be a problem...
Lol, Windows is so damn stupid. Linux-Installers always format the partition to where should be installed.
Wfr, Sindwiller
EDIT: Eight, youve got that right 
wow i like how the linux fanboys try to take over the thread.
This is why i hate the linux community, say one thing about windows, all the linux bitches rush in and do their WINDOWS SUCKS LOLOLOL routine.
At least the windows community is more mature.

So does Windows installers, its optional, what are you talking about?

Indeed, the installer even highly recommends to do a format of the partition you wish to install windows to, while still leaving the option not to. Choice is good.

Both correct. The thing is, I didnt want to lose any data and since I have only one HDD I didn't want to format my disk. If this wasn't the case I would have formatted it for sure.
Next time I format must be like the 25th time or so..

haha fletch , you've ever tried to format a HD with a magnet ?
Quote from KoKo5oVaRhaha fletch
We accidentally destroyed/reformatted one of the inventory computers at CompUSA when we got one of those super magnets that turns off security tags. It also fucked up the CRT for about a week. No amount of degauzing would correct it.

Oh, that's your solution to everything.
fletch, you work at comp usa?
Quote from dissonancefletch, you work at comp usa?
I work at Gearbox. But when I was in high school I worked at CompUSA. It has led to my hatred of retail stores, rebate forms, Family Tree Maker, and computer salesmen. On the bright side, I got my Dreamcast for cost.

how does this fall into the list? was there a sudden surge of people wanting that
