Reflux Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 For some reason my external hdd had a bunch of folders (the windows update ones) and they are right protected so i can't delete it. Normally i would just reformat but the drive is too big to backup any ideas on how i can remove the folders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deveant Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 lol 96% of linux live CD's, to make it easier on u i suggest downloading Damn Small Linux, just becuase of is small quick to download. if u want to use a Linux CD for Tech work, then i suggest either Backtrack or Ubuntu.

Sparda Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 This thread hurts to read because file permissions are a basic in modern computers. Sorry if I sound like a noob basher, but this is right along side file management which is some thing every one does who uses a computer.
