Hey, A few months ago I decided I'd try out that windows vista beta version, I signed up, downloaded and tried to install it on another hard drive I wasn't using.

The hard drive happened to be IDE and it didn't like it so I was forced to install on my other drive which I use for storage. It installed all ok, I had a little play around with it and then went back to my normal windows XP.

Now has come the time where I want to remove vista from the other hard drive, but shift + delete does not work and the following message appears:

Now I know there's not any processes running to prevent it from being deleted as it's nothing to do with my current installation, so I was wondering if there are any programs which would allow me to delete the 4 folders assiosiated with vista.
 
If not much else is working, I'd run DBAN on the drive in question for a few minutes to wreck the partition tables. Then I'd reboot into Windows and format NTFS.
