English Install/Boot/Login

Hi guys,
Am doing some serious recovery work here, long story short, im a noob and need to know how to remove the /windows dir from my harddrive.

Any attempts with rm -rf /windows result in a “Operation not permitted” for each file in the dir. And im running this as root…?

Thanks for any help

That’s because it’s mounted read-only. Mount it read write and your plan will work.

Alternatively you can format it as a Linux filesystem in Yast –> System –> Partitioner

Ah, i was mounting using mount, forgetting it was an ntfs partition.
Mounted using ntfs-3g and it worked =)

thanks
