SP2 Update Files in the D drive

[Fragsta]

On my C drive (80GB), I've got my Windows files, and all my personal files, and when I installed Service Pack 2, for some reason a couple of folders, one called "75ad8dc4e6533bc14d1e1c9f1399" and the other called "91b165be90a830a815c981ef20e89", appeared on my D drive (also 80GB). They both contain the folder sp2, which contains the folder update, which contains the executeable file called update, and apparently it's a service pack update.

Now, I want to format the D drive so I can install a copy of Fedora core 3, and use dual booting (which I will figure out how to do once I've figured out this issue) to use it. So, I try to format it but apparently these files are either read-only/protected or in use. My guess is the first. So, I make all the folders not read only, but when I check the properties of the files, they aren't read-only, yet they cannot be deleted. I can't see either of them being run in task manager processes.

Basically what I want to know is...how the hell am I supposed to get rid of these files so I can install Fedora?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Right click on them, under the security tab, take ownership and set permisssions.

I tried this, but there isn't in fact a security tab anywhere.

What version of XP are you running? If you are running Professional, you need to enable the "use simple file sharing". In a window, such as My Computer, click on Tools -> Folder Options -> Click on the view tab, and at the very bottom of the list, make sure that "use simple file sharing" is unselected. Then apply chages, and retry taking ownership and setting the permissions
