Re: FN-FORUM: Sys file that I cant delete

date posted 1st August 2007 00:27

Hi Nic,

When I had a problem like this it usually meant it's that time of a
month again when I need to reinstall (restore a backup) of my Windows
XP.

Never tried that myself but you can find some mini Linux images here:

and maybe try to make a boot CD and delete it from there?

Just an idea...Good luck.

Jay
