    With my initial installation I relocated "My Documents" folder to another partition (in hopes that if I had to reload/format C:\ I wouldnt lose anything. Well I recently overhaulded my system with upgrades and was forced to re-install. In doing so, I now get ACCESS DENIED!!! on "My Documents" folder. I cant delete it, rename it, copy, move, or FORMAT the partition. Well I went to use a boot disk, hehe and cant even see the NTFS file partitions...

    Its bad enough I lost it all, but I am really pissed I cant get rid of it. Anyone have a suggestion other than re-partitioning my hard drive to remove this file???

    You can use NTFSdos pro 3 which allows you to use NTFS partitions from a standard/win98 bootdisk.
