View 6 Replies View RelatedOk, I finally decided I need to fdisk, format and reinstall windows xp. Repairing and re-installing are not options. Too many errors result.Here's the problem. I have several startup disks... from 95 through xp (which is actually ME in isquise). NONE of the fdisk commands seem to work. XP is so screwed up, I'm lucky to get back here, let alone find my original post. All I want to do is fdisk my C drive. My D drive is 120gig, and formatted just fine. I don't want to use it as my master though. I just want to put all my other stuff on it.

Now when starting up I get the "admin" user account, not the Welcome Screen, with the user acct. icons. I have not made password for any of the accts., so I get the admin log-in, and simply hit return, and I'm in the admin user acct.. I can see the limited user's folders of documents and favorites, but I can't get into the user accounts.
View 6 Replies View RelatedBrief synopsis:I recently did a new Windows XP install (after a crash). Now I cannot get my printer to install. The printer is a SHARED printer (HP Deskjet F380) on another machine on the network. The printer was previous installed on this machine before the crash and reinstall of WinXP.After nearly 2 hours on the phone w/ HP support, it's been determined (by HP support) that somewhere in the XP install, a missing XP driver is keeping this install from properly allowing any printers to be installed. The printer will 'appear' to be installed, but any attempt to print brings an error saying printer drivers aren't properly installed.

View 2 Replies View RelatedOkay, guys, you've all been great in helping with my computer issues. One more and I think I'll be out of your hair for a while at least. The situation is I've got a computer running XP, but the hard drive is a little too small. I had a larger hard drive in my 98 machine and I've slaved that drive and installed it in this computer. I've moved everything I need to the C drive temporarily and I want to reformat the D drive to wipe out everything on it. Problem is, I know how to do it from a DOS prompt but XP doesn't seem to have one. How do I format this drive (mainly want to get rid of the operating system)?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI run Wndows XP home and have been trying to delete the folder Winamp/Plugins/Milkdrop
Looking under 'properties' it says there are 0 bytes, 0 files, 0 folders. But when I hit delete on the Milk Drop folder I get a message saying the "Directory is not empty". I've uninstalled, reinstalled and uninstalled Winamp to no effect. The main problem is that it prevents Norton Systemworks running properly. It gets stuck when doing the system (registry) checks and when running Windoctor Wizard it stops as soon as it reaches the MilkDrop folder.
I have a folder that I can not delete. I had a bunch of folders with music files in them. I was re-arranging, renaming, and deleting them. At the end of the day, there was one folder that I could not delete from the recycle bin. When I tried to empty the recycle bin, it would delete files until it got to this one. Then I would get the message:(Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk). I would then have to go into the recycle bin and delete the remaining files manually. But this one would still not delete out of the recycle bin.

I deleted all the folders from my desktop except one. I keep getting this error message that I cannot delete this particular folder because it is being used by another person or program and to close any programs that might be using the file and try again. I've closed all programs and no one is using this file and still I can't delete it. I have Windows XP Home Edition.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWindows XP Home Ed. SP2. P4 3.2 GHz. 2 GB DDR RAM. Using my original Windows CD, I performed a Windows Repair. After that repair, I used another CD obtained through Microsoft containing sP2. After completion of the installation, a folder was placed on my C: drive. It has a long folder name: "4b50a7e303f1d0e0caeca2ce" with subfolders such as, "i386," "new" and "root," to mention a few. The files contained within those folders all end with an underscore such as: "accessor.in_" What is this folder and is it safe to delete?

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhile looking in "Windows(XPsp2) Explorer / Documents and Settings / Owner," I noticed a folder - "My Recent Documents." Within that folder there are a lot of files. My 2 questions are:1- Can these files be deleted?
#2- If they can be deleted, how would that be done? Would we do it just be high-lighting the files on right-side of screen and then deleting?
I have a folder (C:Program FilesMicrosoft Office) that won't delete. I get an error message about something to do with "A BIN file is not empty". Unless there is a super-duper utilty that would get rid of folders like that (which I would prefer) I know that I probably have to use the DEL command in Command Prompt. Could you please tell me exactly how to enter that and give a detailed example cause' I always mess it up! By the way I am no longer using Microsoft Office and also I tried unsuccessfully to delete it in safe mode
View 10 Replies View RelatedHave accumulated 28 folders and subfolders of AAWTMP in C:Documents & Settings/UserName/LocalSettings/TEMP in the last couple months and am unable to delete any of them. Error msg says "Cannot delete Directory is not empty". There are NO files in these folders and properties show 0 bytes in every folder. This is reportedly a folder created by Ad-Aware at every scan and is supposed to be removed after the scan but I just kept accumulating them until the last week when it stopped. Now the AAWTMP folder opens in the same directory on an Ad-Aware scan but is removed after the scan is completed and the program is closed but I'm still left with these 28 undeleteable folders.I have located AAWTMP in the registry in several keys under Lavasoft and also AVG but deleting them there does no good. I have uninstalled Lavasoft to see if that would unlock them but it didn't.
Besides trying manual delete and renaming each individual folder, have tried CCleaner - Ad-Aware - Spybot - Ewido - Killbox -Counter Spy and Unlock and repeated these in Safe Mode under Administrator. Online scans Housecall/TrendMicro - Panda - Symantec show nothing.Opening the folders shows nothing at all, just empty folders, even though the error message continues to say that they are not empty. Nothing will delete them, so far.
