So I've been googling for awhile, but I'm having issues.
I am in Bit-Defenders Recovery mode, which is Linux based. I have a file I need to delete to try and fix this - called Trufos.sys, when I try to start Windows, it says there is a problem with this file and Windows can't start. I am hoping to delete it and bypass this error.
There's a command line in recovery mode. I've been trying to learn it somewhat, and man, Linux really is a pain. I tried to install Flash & Java, and managed to, but nothing uses it. This mode was never meant to actually be used for anything but browsing.
But then I got to looking. I found the culprit file, sadly I could not right click and delete it in this mode, nor really do anything. so I started to try and find commands to delete the file via command line. I found the rm command, and the cd command, but I can't get it to work.
I don't even get a confirmination when I use the cd command, though if I use it wrong, I do, so I assume it works, can't tell. I tried to rm the file, didn't get the usual error of "no file exists" but it's still there. the file is located in C:\Windows\system32\drivers
I typed cd C:\"Windows"\"system32"\"drivers" it brought up :
Then I typed rm trufos.sys
Nothing happened.
File is still there. Perhaps I wasn't anywhere? There's this sda1 / sda2 folders and directorys and I'm just confused.
maybe I need to type like cd sda1:\Windows\system32\drivers ect, but I can't get it to recognize the sda.
Needless to say, after this whole mess, I am uninstalling Bit Defender, it's been nothing but a bother since I installed it earlier this year, but absolutely -everyone- claims it to be so wonderful, so great. I'm one of those lucky people who got it for a penny, so it's no great loss to me. Back to NOD32, which never gave me these problems.

I finally got the directory! YEs! It took awhile, but I did it, however, when I type rm trufos.sys it says there is no file there...even after it "prompts" me. Now I am getting a "Permission denied" thing in the prompt. Ah well, figured it was to good to be true, to be able to find this file and simply delete it and hope it fixes everything.
No such file or directory, even though it prompts me, I tried using -f, but it was a no go.
