Win XP Pro SP3



I have One drive with two partitions on one of which sits the Operating

System whilst the other contains all the data.



On the OS drive there is a System Volume Information folder which I guess is

normal.



There is also a System Volume folder on this data partition. Surely this is

not nomal ? I have no idea how it got there and would like to get rid of it,

but just like the real one it says Access Denied. Is there some way to

delete this folder ?

ok forget it.



Just seen Microsoft Q309531 and it explains everything.



Thanx

It only explains half of the story... the folder is used by several

other services.
