  1. 2 installs of windows in C drive


    Hey everyone,

    My neighbour has recently updated his acer laptop, and now has 2 installs of windows on his computer.

    In his C drive there is a folder called "jb" that has a now unused version of windows in it, I have tried to delete it by giving myself permissions but it makes it most of the way and then it says it needs permissions.


    Is there any program or way I could remove it without permissions?

    :)

  2. Vista Beta 2 Installed

    Well first I defragged the drive, then go into partition magic and select "create a new partition" and make sure it is "after c:"

    Then click the rest of the way through the menus, and in the lower left there is a list of pending activites and click "apply" and you will have to restart and before windows boots partition magic does its thing.

    C windows installer folder - Delete?

    He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink 2 installs of windows in C drive ;)
    Better try it out in a virtual of first. Just a suggestion.

    Like:
    First move everything in c:\windows\installer to d:\installercache
    Then delete c:\windows\installer folder
    Then type this in command mode as admin
    mklink /d c:\windows\installer d:\installercache

    Removing those installer files is a bad idea. it might prevent you from updating or uninstalling apps.
