Out of curiosity, I installed a beta version of Windows Vista. But the beta user experience is poor. My machine is running 4 2.4 GB, 1 GB memory, non-independent graphics card. However, after the installation, there was no effect at all. Instead, the images were blurred. In addition, two days have actually expired and can only be registered using a browser. Nothing can be used. So we had to discard it. However, it is easy to treat the gods with difficulties. The Windows directory contains nearly 7 GB of Vista installed on the edisk. I don't have to use the hard disk after installing a ubutun. It is difficult to delete Vista. After some struggle, I finally deleted it.
I have seen a lot of questions on the Internet, but they are not well solved. Share it here.

I. About Multi-startup.
1. Enter XP, run cmd, and click
Cd c:/boot
Here we assume that the C drive is installed with XP
2. Execute again
Fixntfs-XP
3. After restart, the XP bootloader will be back.
4. format the Vista Hard Disk
Back up data.
Right-click my computer on the desktop, click "manage" on the pop-up menu, select disk management under the pop-up window, select the disk on which Vista is installed, and right-click and format it.

2. Do not want to format the Vista installation disk or delete some folders.
This is troublesome. The deletion dialog box is displayed, "XXX cannot be deleted, and access is denied. Make sure that the disk is not full or write-protected, and the file is not in use. "
This is the permission setting of Vista, and the folder cannot be deleted in another system.
The process is as follows:
1. Go to resource manager, click "tool"-"folder option", and select "View" in the pop-up dialog box. Remove the "use simple file sharing (recommended)" check box under files and folders to confirm. This is to see the "Security" attribute.
2. Right-click the file or folder to be deleted and select Properties. In the displayed dialog box, select the Security page.
3. There is a "advanced" button under the Security page. Click to enter the new dialog box and select the "owner" page. For example:

Make sure to select "replace word container and object owner. Select the user or group under the list and click Apply. The above "Current Owner" is replaced by a list of users with UNKNOWN identities. And modify the ownership.

The following warning box may pop up. Select Yes.

Switch to the permission table to see if the user or group with the ownership just added does not exist. If not, add the user or group. Then, edit the permission and select "this folder, subfolders, and files" as the application ". Set the permission to "full control.

After that, adjust the owner's permissions and set them to full control, for example:

In this way, XP users can delete folders with ownership and full control. And so on. You can also delete Vista's program files and other directories.
