Hello,

I am running Windows XP. I clicked and dragged my System
32 folder in Windows Explorer over to the "E:" drive,
which is where my computer has its CDRW drive. I cannot
get rid of the file now. It seems to be perminantly
stuck in the "waiting to write to a cd" section of the E
drive. When I try to delete it or move it back, the
computer attempts to perform the requested function, but
then a window pops up saying a particular file cannot be
deleted (or moved). Now each time I want to save a
photo, document, video etc to a CD, I have to copy System
32 (400MB)with it. Restoring my computer to a previous
date has not worked. I would really like to avoid having
to reformat my computer to its original settings.

Any help is greatly appreciated,
william
 
William, the MS servers have been having problems for the
last 48 hours or so. many advice-givers have been unable
to see the forum questions. If you do not get help, I am
sure you will get it if you post again, perhaps in another
48 hours.
