To take ownership, turn off "Hide protected operating system files" and turn on "Show hidden files and folders". Then right-click on the file..select, Properties, Security, Advanced, Owner, and there you can take ownership.
You may be able to delete it at this point.
That sounds great. But I don't have the option: "security, advanced, owner." Is there something special I have to do to get those options?
Here is a picture of the options I have when I right click the protected system file called "system volume information:"

In the picture you notice that the folder that was made after I merged the partitions is called CRAP; I had the foresight to name it appropriately, haha.
But more importantly I don't have those options you speak of. On the far left is the window that comes from the advanced button on the far right. Please tell me how to get these security and owner options, thank you.
If it helps I use Windows XP professional version 2002 Service Pack 1.
