Hello,
my system consists of two installs of XP.
The first one in the C: drive, (an update of windows ME)
and added later, a second install in the F: logical partition.
Dual booting works well.
I ran "disk cleanup" today
on the C: system, but I ran it for the F: drive.
The tool told me that I had 16MB of used
"windows 98 or ME setup files" on the F: drive
I checked the box to clean them. Big mistake.
It deleted f:\program files and
f:\windows. Wow, that's some cleanup!
Luckily I had a recent Acronis backup and all is
well again.
Don't you think "Disk Cleanup" should be a bit smarter
than that?
