Posted October 18, 200816 yr Background: I had an SBS server fail to boot this week after the C: drive running out of disk space. Windows hopelessly corrupt, no amount of recovery console doing the trick. So, I reformatted C: and reinstalled Windows, including service packs, software, etc. I then tried to restore from ntbackup. This was unsuccessful with a kernel missing error. I booted to the SBS CD and reinstalled Windows to the C: drive without formatting. This installed a separate directory called WINDOWS0. I then attempted to restore with ntbackup again, and this time the restore was successful. Problem: We need all the disk space we can get on our C: partition since that caused the issue to begin with. I cannot now delete the unnecessary WINDOWS0 folder. I have taken ownership, reset permissions, removed the "Unknown Account" from its permissions, etc., however, it still gives an access denied error, make sure this disk is not full or write protected, and make sure this file is not in use. How can I delete these files? Thank you, JB
