Hello, I have a scenario whereI am playing around with an XP - Win7 migration w/ USMT 4 (who isn't!) and for some reason the drive wipe has just failed because it could not delete a file. This is strange because I am recloning the target disk after every attempt. I have dont this several times with the exact same source and the Wipe has completed fine, the problems I am working on are after win7 has been installed. The log lines were something like: Unable to delete file Docs & Settings\User\ahmbed.gz (0x80070020) Unable to delete directory Docs & Settings\User (0x80070091) Unable to delete Docs & Settings(0x80070091) Then further down: Failed to run the action: Apply Operating System Image. The directory is not empty. What I'm worried about now is how to recover if this happens again. Has anyone else had this issue? Things I can think of to handle: Allow 'Apply OS' it to continue on error (though I don't really want to in case it really breaks) Run a cmd line to search and delete everything except protected dirs somehow add something in so a 'dir not empty' or 'file not deleted' return code is still interpreted as success.. Do these solutions have possibilites? Thanks very much, -Dan ps. I know im playing with beta OS/Tools but this particular function is removed from all that, it's just trying to wipe a drive and if it was the os or tools failing I wouldn't be annoying you guys :p

Hi, I know the post is old but did you ever discover a soloution to this? Having the same problem with USMT 4 XP-Win7x64 scenario in my case it is the Unable to delete file c:\documents and settings\user\My documents\desktop.ini (0x80070020) Unable to delete file c:\documents and settings\user\My documents\My Music\desktop.ini (0x80070020)
