    I just installed vista ultimate x32 onto my 7805 from a failed attempt at using XP x32 and now i have a "Windows.old" folder in my local disk [c:]. I really dont need any of those files, is it safe to just delete them? Do I have to do something special? Its only about 9G worth of data so its not really hurting much but if I can get rid of it that would be nice. Thanks :D
