zedox Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 (edited) After installing Vista there is always this annoying file left over at the root of the system drive....BOOTSECT.BAKUsing Right Click > Delete, works. But I want to remove it silently on first boot.DEL /Q %SYSTEMDRIVE%\BOOTSECT.BAKcomes back saying it can't find that file!Even DIR on the %SYSTEMDRIVE% doesn't show its presence!If anyone has come up with a way of removing this file please share your knowledge!

maxXPsoft Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 hadn't noticed that and don't have Vista on right nowperhaps an attrib -R -A -S -H %systemdrive%\BOOTSECT.BAK first then the Del? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajua Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 i'm not sure but i think i deleted that file long ago in another installation of vista and began to have some problems. not sure but as i don't know what is that file for i would leave it alone.
