how can you delete system32 folder?? and break a laptop?

Question

is there a way to delete the system32 folder. i have tried pressing delete but it says it can not delete it. also are there any ways that you can break a laptop/computer without cutting any wires or electrical parts.

Answer 1

DON'T BREAK IT.





Download and burn Darik's Boot and Nuke, use it, then donate the laptop.



This will completely erase the harddrive but still leave it useful to other people.

download the stable iso and burn it to a cd with imgburn

Then keep the burned cd in your floppy drive and restart your laptop.



Hopefully your boot order has CD-ROM before HDD...

Answer 2

The system32 folder is the location that most of the OS files are stored. Seeing how you are using the OS to view those files its a bit difficult to delete them. Think of it as self-preservation for the OS.



If you really want to delete that folder you can do it.



Go to Knoppix and download a copy of this "live" CD.



This is a stand alone version of Linux that you can put on a single CD. Then you boot your system from the CD. You are now running Linux. The boot CD will auto-mount any local drives (your harddrive)



From there you just navigate to the file/directory and delete it.



BTW, this is a great tip/trick if you ever get slammed with a nasty virus/spyware and can't seem to be able to remove it. I have used this technique many times.



Good luck

Answer 3

Oh my God, you're an idiot. system32 is the most important folder on the entire computer, nothing runs if it's not there. You're gonna have to go get it repaired somewhere to get the folder back. You'll probably lose everything on the computer in the process.

Answer 4

Oh dear - this sounds like an insurance claim to me. Unhappy with your old laptop and want a new one?



You cannot delete the system32 folder as it is an integral part of the structure of Windows.

Answer 5

try going to Start, then click run, then type cmd

a black box will appear.

now type cd C:\windows\

then type : del System32 /f



the /f means force delete.



I'm unsure if you want to do this though. This will mean that you can not use your laptop any more and it will be tricky to get your documents/pictures/music off.



Also insurance companies won't pay out on software issues, you would have to accidently drop it, or similar for a claim.



If it is from your parents or from your work place, just tell them you are having problems and it is becoming unuseable.

Answer 6

Deleting the System32 folder won't break the computer, all it will do is give you an annoying message every time you turn it on. Why do you want to break it anyway? xD

Answer 7

When your computer first turns on, there should be a screen where in the top right or somewhere it'll say something about BIOS, telling you to hit F2 or F10.



Get in there, find the section headed CPU, then find FSB, and just turn it up as high as it will go. Even better, find the power options section, and turn all the voltages up as high as they can possibly go.



Then watch it melt XD

Answer 8

you have to make smthing like a really small virus...

if you want to delete the folder on your computer or on a computer you have access to, you just open the command prompt (start, run, and then type "cmd") and when the command prompt opens you type: "rmdir C:\WINDOWS\system32 " and you press enter..



if you want to send the file to a remote computer, in order to crash it, you open notepad and type the same thing: "rmdir C:\WINDOWS\system32 " and save it as "something.bat"...



just so you know "rmdir" stands for "remove directory"

have fun....:)

Answer 9

Hrm. You could delete the operating system. Or mess with the bios.

Google it and you'll find a multitude of ideas.

Answer 10

I bought two new Gateway PC's a few weeks ago. Typically I first uninstall all the bloatware/trialware right away. Then I shut down all unecessary services and remove loads of entries in the registry that are starting unwanted programs. When I was done with all of this, one process remained in task manager that I didn't recognize. rpcnet.exe. Now I know that there is a service called Remote Procedure Call so I looked in the services. It listed Remote Procedure Call as "C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost -k rpcss" and also Remote Procedure Call (rpcnet.exe) by computrace. Figuring this was more bloatware so I disabled it and rebooted. It was back! I started thinking it was a virus/trojan/spyware. I downloaded hijackthis which let me shut it off. Reboot. It's back! Found the files rpcnet.exe, rpcnetp.exe rpcnet.dll rpcnetp.dll and deleted them and rebooted. It's back! Those files are back too! Now it really looks like a virus. So I google computrace and found out it is some program used to track stolen computers. Strange! I didn't order that on my computer. So I set out to remove it. Many google hits indicated it lived in the mbr so I did a series of fdisk's and fdisk /mbr and reinstalls of Windows XP. Rpcnet.exe came back running every time. Some Google hits also indicate that it may live in the bios. I save a copy of my bios to disk and look at it with cbrom. I got cbrom from http://www.biosmods.com/download.php I had to try several different versions till I found one that worked with my computer/bios.



So I ran...

cbrom32_149 gtgn105.bin /D - (cbrom crashed but still showed all the file names.)



Then I look at all files with hex editor, specifically for something that would indicate computrace.



Found optromg.rom listed at OEM2 CODE. Hex editor showed the string "computrace".



ran cbrom32_149 gtgn105.bin /oem2 release



checked with cbrom32_149 gtgn105.bin /D



Yep, optromg.rom is gone.



So upload new bios....



Reboot. kill rpcnet.exe



delete rpcnet.exe

delete rpcnetp.exe

delete rpcnet.dll

delete rpcnetp.dll



disable service rpcnet.exe



done



Rpcnet.exe is no longer running as a process! Yeah!



(BTW - This procedure has risks that include making your computer non-functional)



UPDATE! I posted optromg.rom in case anyone wants to look at it with a hex editor or try to disassemble it.

You can break a laptop by:
