re: how to delete nonresponsive os plz!!! Sunday, March 26, 2006 at 7:55 pm Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by ecchichuu (1 messages posted) Somewhat off topic, but I have the same problem except XP Professional is my dead OS and XP Home is my working OS. Unfortunately my original C:\Windows folder seems to be stuck on 'read only' so I can't delete it. Looking around the net I haven't found a working solution to removing the read only attribute.
