I normally use Windows, but Windows screwed up, The only way I can boot this computer is using a Ubuntu Live CD. I have 18 GiB of video which I want to burn then delete, to make room for a fresh installation of Windows. That video is on a NTFS partition.
So then wouldn't you burn it then use fdisk or similar in the Windows setup to delete the entire partition?

They have limited write support which also happens to be buggy and a pain in the ass to get to work properly.

They can usually access NTFS/FAT32 partions and they usually have CD/DVD burning tools ;)
I really wish people would learn to read the threads.

And yet another stupid suggestion?

How about instead of wasting rav's bandwidth on downloading things which won't solve the problem.

Before posting - a general bit of advice to everyone - know what the hell you're replying to as well as give good decent support instead of wasting everyones time.
