[ Ubuntu-BD ] installing hardy direct from ISO

[Ammar Karim]

Thanks Russell Bhai.

I installed Hardy by CD and afterwards manually deleted the files that
had the virus from my NTFS drive, so it turned out okay.

I have another problem though: There is a "NFS Underground" folder on
the NTFS drive that appears empty both on Windows and in Ubuntu. When
I try deleting through Ubuntu, I get an error message.

I ran a Sophos anti-rootkit through Windows for the drive, and the
program could identify some game files as being hidden in that folder,
but could not identify as being any rootkit virus or restore them. Its
taking up a couple of hundred Megabytes on my hard disk, so any
suggestions would be appreciated
