Before I reinstalled windows in another partition and hd, i moved
windows to another hd in the event I wanted something that I had
forgotten. Now, I want to remove that window, but it denies me...why and
how can I get rid of the old windows?

Windows will not allow you to delete any file that is
currently loaded: this may be your problem; or it
may be that your old folder D:/Windows is still
marked "System," this protected by the OS; or it
may be a hint that, despite installation to new C:/Windows,
your Registry still calls one or more files in D:/Windows
You can check for this possibility by searching the
Registry for calls to D:/Windows instead of C:/Windows.

When you are sure you need nothing in D:/Windows
you can DELete it in a DOS box. DOS commands
are not inhibited like those of Windows.
