I have Linux and Windows iME installed (dual boot)
I'm pretty sure I can delete _Restore using Linux -- logged
in as root, Linux doesn't much care about whether
Windows hides files or makes then undeletable!
And thanks for this discussion. I had backed up my entire system using Linux, and
recently had the occasion to restore it. I now have two copies of _Restore for each
partition -- one that Windows made me and one from the backup -- and I was wondering
which one to use.
I thing we need the backed-up one, but perhaps it is safer to delete all.
