If you are officially testing .NET server or XP1 Service Pack, or if you have an easy way to report XP bugs, please help me report a serious bug that doesn?t appear to be getting fixed:
Go into the Disk Management Console (or start\run compmgmt.msc)
Select a drive other than the boot partition and right click
Select ?Change Drive Letter and Paths...?
Select ?Mount in the empty NTFS folder..?
And select an empty folder or create and select a folder from there.
(note that you don?t have to delete the current drive letter if you don?t want to. You can have both.)
Here is the test:
Go into the folder wherever you mounted it (not from the original drive letter)
Create a new folder
Try to delete the new folder.
It can?t be deleted unless you shift-delete or otherwise bypass the recycle bin
You can delete files. You can delete folders from the original mapped drive. But you can?t delete them on the mapped drive.
Now once you have verified the bug:
Report it to Microsoft
