Hello! I have tried to install Windows Vista operating system and installation process did not pass well, so, I uninstalled Vista and installed windows XP operating system with Service Pack 2 installed. Now, I have troubles with some Vista folders which somehow stayed and I cannot delete them from XP. What to do?

Hello! This is known issue and there is solution for it - do not worry. There are several ways for deleting these folders. First, you can use some live Linux CD and on that way delete these folders. Also, you can delete them from DOS prompt, too; or by using a boot CD. So, pick up easiest way (for me it is live Linux CD) and remove folders.
