i shutdown this computer with this ~.exe file on it and booted it into linux. i also have webmin installed so mounted the windows partition and tried to delete it using the 'file manager' but kept saying this is a read only system (not true)
It's not an NTFS file system, is it? I don't know of
any Linux versions that will write to NTFS w/o running
something like Captive. You might try Killbox (runs
from Windows). HTH.
