Good idea, except that my dual boot version of RH Linux on that machine does not support the NTFS file structure that is on the 120GB HD.
Can the person who wrote the CYGWIN install utility answer this question?

Hi Again -
I have a couple of backup CYGWIN directories on my hard drive that I cannot remove even when I logon as "Administrator".
I had a disk crash and was forced to restore the W2K system onto a new harddrive. I used the old drive (120GB) as a data disk. The old drive contains the old CYGWIN directories which I now cannot delete.
Windows Explorer displays the properties of these directories. I cannot change the READ-ONLY status of the "Shorcuts" in these directories. The 'security' allows read and or execute only, no write, modify or delete. The owner is "S-1-5-21-184423 ... "
I can take ownership of the directories, but not of the 'Shortcut's
within the directories. I get the message
"You only have permission to view the current security information on <filename>"
Note that I can only view, not change any security. It seems that "S-1-5-21-1844 ... "
is the owner of the 'Shortcuts'.
How do I delete these directories?
- Kind Regards, Don
