Dear Ted:

For what it is worth, you could always boot a different OS or another copy of Windows. Then mount the corrupted disk (if you use an OS like Linux), delete the file (this is relatively easy since it is not being used), sync the disks to make sure the deletion is written to the disk, dismount the disk and you are ready to boot up the normal way.

I keep on a small partition a backup copy of a previous Windows version as well as a Linux one. They only take a few GB, but the pain they prevent more than makes up for the "lost" space. Lilo allows me to boot them without much trouble.

Pete
