Ok i was messing about with dxtory recording some Dayz and think i set it up wrong and ended up filling what was left on my 750gb drive .

The file is about 276gb in size and no matter what i try i cant delete it . Safe mode/dos tried em all . Now normally i would just boot winpe and delete it that way but nope.. wont boot my machine (Win7 64 ultimate on a ssd) It just blue screens at the end when loading the GUI .

Built a new image of UBCD4win and tried that but same issue as winpe . So how do i delete this file ? Im guessing some sorta bootable linux distro but have no idea what one .

HELP!!
 
Sorry but how does that get round my issue ? Windows wont delete .. safe mode wont .. dos wont .. how does moving it to a caddy help ?
 
drive is fine .. no errors in windows or hdd diags . Anyone suggest a cd bootable (ie: runs from cd/dvd) version of linux with a gui i can use ?
 
because of the size (1 file 276gb avi ) windows just chokes on it .. as does dos . Normally it would be a 2 min job with winpe ..But i think because its based on winxp its flaky with my sata controler and wont load
