I'm in XP-PRO and NTFS. So no DOS for me but the Recovery Console should do the same thing right. I can see it all. DIR shows me everything. So why can't I delete the whole Program Files folder? CD (Change Dirtecory) C:\Program FIles won't even let me in. Or RD \\.\C:\Program Fiels\ doesn't delete. It says"File not Found" "File Does not Exists. THESE don't work either.
