I have Windows 7 installed on my old PC right now. And I want to install new OS which I have on CD. So normally I would enter BIOS and change boot order so that CD comes before HDD...
BUT
My keyboard isn't working so I cannot enter BIOS. So I thought if I could delete System32 folder that my computer will shut down, and once I restart it, it will boot from CD (because there won't be any operating system on HDD)...
BUT
Windows won't let me delete it!
HALP!

I know this is bait but for the record, if you actually tried this you'd more than likely just brick your Windows install.

Is this a meme? Put in a w7 bootdrive usb and then delete it from there

No the bootloader will load and fail. You must enter BIOS to reinstall, or reinstall FROM windows.

DELET BOOTMGR

Why are you so fucking stupid? Get a keyboard and plug it into the USB port, or replace the broken keyboard.

Too lazy to go to shop now
And I always wanted to delete that folder 2bh

why would bootloader fail? It simply goes through list of options and boots from first one which has OS on it. On my laptop CD is at first place in the list right now, but it still boots from HDD (unless there is CD in CD-ROM)?

Then windows would fail to boot, but it would still chose the hdd before the installation media.

just format C

take ownership of the folder and all subfolders

I think in win10 you can boot to the bios with advanced start up or something. Not sure if this is on win7
