OK, so I'll start off this post with saying this shouldn't have happened to someone like me, who thought he was computer savy. That being said...so I've recently grown really tried of some of the minor problems I've had with Vista, and was wondering what options were available on the Vista CD. So I inserted the CD and it gave me the option to "Upgrade" or to a full install. I clicked Upgrade, thinking it would take me to options where I could maybe reinstall some drivers and repair my windows installation because I was assuming I may have some system file errors. Well, now I know not to do things with no sleep and around 4am, because within a few moments it was re-installing windows...on the same drive and partition I currently am running Windows. So after it was done with the installation and restarted, my computer got to the windows loading bar, restarted, and does that over and over again no matter what I do (select Safe Mode, etc). Even when I eventually found the option to get to the command prompt through the "repair" options on the Vista CD, I could view the two seperate Windows folders, but when I tried to delete the new Windows folder using the "del" command, it didn't work. Now my command prompt knowledge is a bit sketchy currently, so I may have missed something, but any help anybody has would be great. Please feel free to flame me as an idiot...I deserve it. Thanks in advance.
P.S.
I am aware that I could just make my master drive a slave on another system, access it, and delete the new Windows folder, but I wont have access to another system until tomorrow, and would like to know if there was anything I could do before then.
