I have a bunch of old Norton Ghost 12 backup files on an external hd. My copy of Ghost is long gone (the box it was running on was replaced long ago and I have not installed Ghost on the new box and don't plan to). When I attempt to delete the backup files manually I get <br />
&quot;you must have permission to delete this file.&quot; I am the owner of the computer and have full admin privileges.<br />
<br />
Does anybody know how I can get rid of these files? I'm thinking of getting the stuff I want to keep off the hd and then reformatting it, if there's no other way.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
Dave

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
