| 1301039 | 2012-09-15 05:26:00 | I have fixed the problem of unremovable file. Removed the ssd and bought a new one! This, of course leaves me with a 320 gig hard drive with an 8 MB folder taking up 80 mbs of space sitting on the table. I managed to shift this folder into a new drive. It is "BOOT" folder from windows 7. I can not reduce the drive below 80 gigs.I can not remove the folder even though I have a fresh install of win 7 on a new ssd. I have ordered a third ssd which will become my D: drive, so I should be trouble free for a while. TO CLARIFY: I had one 320 gig drive partitioned into C: and D:. For some reason the "BOOT" folder packed up and moved to D: The computer still worked but BOOT would not go home. I got a new ssd and cloned windows on to it. It worked so the folder must be a copy. I have ordered a third SSD which I will re-install the former contents of D: All I would like to do now is to remove the contents on my original disk. It seems a shame to see a perfectly good SSD sitting on the table gathering dust. Especialy when it cost about $1500 when I bought it. |
