I have an HP machine I bought a few months ago. I'm trying to clean up the
hard drive a tad, and I wanted to archive a directory on the root volume to
my backup volume, and remove the directory ferom my machine. The directory
is named "hp" and seems to contain drivers and such in case of system
restore. The problem is I cannot delete or move the directory. The owner of
the directory is name "SYSTEM", as reported by Explorer. Any ideas what I
need to do to remove this directory from my system?

Thanks.

That should be your 'backup and recovery' partition. I wouldn't move i
or delete it!
Have you made your backup and recovery disks, or did your computer com
with a Vista DVD in case you ever need to repair or re-install Vista

There is a seperate partition for backup (hey call it recovery); HP creates
this partition on the root drive. I have also completed the recovery cds.
I'm no expert with Windows but I didn't know you can mount a partition like a
file system's directory; that's great!
