How to remove Norton Locked files ?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I've got a hard-disk from a SP Home PC attached as slave [drive E:\ by the

way], and I've Ghosted it into a directory on C:\ghost_e

 

I also would like to manually copy the whole drive, say, into C:\e_copy

but, the machine that it came from had Norton installed in it and when I try

to drag everything from E:\ and drop it in C:\e_copy ...it can't get past

some file that are locked on E:\

e.g. XP tells me :-

"Cannot copy or replace SrtETmp: Access Denied"

 

How to delete the Norton locked files on slve drive E:\ please ? :-)

 

regards, Richard

Thanks both,

 

I'll file that away for future use.

 

re: the hd I had attached, it had an "exploit" in it as well, as locked

Norton files. It was an old ExcelStor 40gb drive, and when powering off -

towards the end of it spinning down, I could hear some horrible noises that

sounded very much to me like a dry / knackered bearing ! I suspect it had

suffered a very hard life, especially considering that its' XP Home platform

had only had 256mb 168pin SDRAM available to it ! Replaced it with a 80gb

Seagate - then a couple of hours later, the old Matsonic Skt 462 board

and/or xp2000 cpu decided to die on me !

 

Had to replace the whole PC :-(

 

regards, Richard

Bad news indeed, Richard.

 

Regardless ......... how are you getting on with your new machine?

 

Is it Vista this time?
