The files used for setting up Windows XP Mode include a virtual hard disk file for the guest
OS and therefore occupy about 700 MB of disk space. If Windows XP Mode is not used, we
recommend that you follow the procedure below to delete the directory storing those files.
1. If you are not logged on to the computer as an administrator account, log on to the computer
as an administrator account.
2. Start the command prompt.
・Click Start and point to All Programs.
・Click Accessories.
・Right-click Command Prompt to show a menu. On the menu, click Run as
administrator.
(If the administrator account you used for log on is a built-in administrator account,
simply click Command Prompt.)
・If you see the User Account Control window, click Yes.
3. At the command prompt, type the following and press Enter.
rmdir /s C:¥HITACHI¥XP_Mode
4. A confirmation message for the deleting directory is output. Type y and then press Enter.
