Hi i'm looking for a very light linux distro to boot via usb stick mbr (not UEFI ) just to delete some files I can not access via windows and is there a list of Parted Magic hashes ? in the past there was a list , can't find anymore about Parted Magic there some included tools (like erase disk) very cool thanks
if the reason in windows is ntfs permission so you can not do delete file use AccessGain driver http://www.hobeanu.com/accessgain/
Hi does it include Parted Magic erase disk ? or an ssd erase disk with gui? thanks I would like to do it offline , for example delete the file inside of the folder System Volume Information thanks
You want to delete windows files using an offline distro booted from a flash drive? Just about any distro will do it as long as it can see the file it can delete it.
mantra, You can delete selected files or everything in System Volume Information using TeraByte Explorer. It's in BootIt, IFL and TBWinRE.
hi Brian but TeraByte Explorer is not so spartan ,can't even use my mouse ,looks total commander beta version thanks Brian
mantra, Don't be misled by the appearance of TeraByte Explorer. It's very powerful as an Explorer and Partitioning app. To delete files in the System Volume Information folder... Open TeraByte Explorer (tbexplo.tbs) File Explorer scroll down to Mount/Unmount a drive path identifier. Enter select your Windows partition. Enter press Ctrl + o (that is the alpha o, not a zero) you now see Options use the Spacebar to put an X in View hidden files View system files press Enter select System Volume Information press Enter select what you like and press Delete on the keyboard select Delete directory and press Ctrl + <P> to answer for all press Esc to Exit Explorer
