Deleting Old Windows
Hi All,
This is my first post. I recently had major problems accessing the internet and some other problems, so I reinstalled Win 7 Home Premium. I had problems reinstalling anmd had to do it a couple of times. I now find in explorer that I have Windows.old, windows.old000 and windows old.001. They do not shown in uninstall. They are taking up a lot of space and when I try to delete them I get messages saying that I need system permission to delete some files, so the folders will not delete. How do I get rid of them.
I originally wanted to reformat the hard drive (after backing up everything I wanted on an external HDD) but at teh command prompt I was told thatI did not have sufficient privileges.
Can anyone tell me how I can get the privileges to reformat the HDD.
I have also found now that my internet connection is running so sloww as to be useless. It is down loading at about 600 BYTES per sec.
My copy of Win 7 is OEM and Microsoft say that support is the resposibility of the installer.
Any help would be gratefully recieved
