Deleted all files in D:\Windows except two in
D:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9f.ocx and \FlashUtil9f.exe where
access was denied.
Tried to delete them in DOS mode, but access still denied. Is there a way to
delete those two files?

partition without having to reformat that partition?
You can't uninstall an operating system. You either delete its files or
format the drive. If you want to keep the data on that drive but remove the
Windows operating system, simply show all hidden files and delete
everything except your data.
Make sure you are able to see all hidden files and extensions (View tab in
Folder Options). In XP, there are four checkboxes to deal with:
a. Check "Display the contents of system folders".
b. Check "Show hidden files and folders".
c. Uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types".
d. Uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and click "OK" to the
dialog box.
