Hi All

I think I have just identified why Vista keeps BSOD on me. I installed the

Vista Ultimate as a 30 day demo to a separate partition (D:\ drive). Then

installed the Vista Home Premium (purchased) to C:\. Within a week when ever

the system was not under load I'd get a BSOD..eg doing a download etc. I had

installed Norton 360 for AV etc. What I think was happening was the Norton

360 would try and complete disk optimisation and when tring to access either

the D:\Windows or D:\Program Files ...would cause Vista to BSOD... I disabled

N360 Disk Opt.. and stability returned.

 

I have tried deleting both folders even under safe mode and I get the BSOD,

Amending permissions on both also fails..

 

Can anyone suggest a tool that I could use (or a way within Windows) that

will allow the deletion of these two redundant locations.. as stated Safe

Mode and Cmd prompts all fail.....

 

Ta Muchly

    If you are going to delete either of the files you mention, Vista Ultimate

    won't run, so why don't you just reformat the partition. Make sure you have

    your boot files for Vista Home on the C drive and the C drive is your system

    drive.

    Thanks John.... I have 260 GIG of data on the drive as well... But yes it

    does provide a solution..just got to decide whether to buy some more HDD

    space...

     

    Would really love a tool or a cmd that will delete the two locations..if

    such a thing exists....under Vista...

    Have you tried from a command prompt on the Vista install DVD (shift/F10)?

    What codes do you get when you BSOD. If your computer restarts before you

    can determine, turn off auto restart in system properties/advanced/startup

    and recovery.
