Hello,
I have had this problem myself today, and a good solution is to use a “LiveCD” system such as Ubuntu (it has NTFS support via the ntfs-3g driver).
Just boot it up from the disc and you can do basically anything you want to your partitions. You don’t need to install it as a full-fledged OS on your machine, but the LiveCD system provides many useful utilities for things like this.
Just a tip. Cheers.
Yes, the “LiveCD”, but don’t worked out for me either!!!
These types of tools are neat. I would like to understand how some utils like ‘CD-LOCK’ lock folders and files on my hd. I see the files have a space after the file name. I don’t see any attributes showing, such as hidden or system. I imagine that certain special char’s are in the file name that don’t display. I don’t see any process running that is locking the files/folders. If anyone know for certain, I would appreciate a tip on how it is done, and how to remove from the command line not using any special utilities.
Thank-you!
