I tryed that before write here, but i can delete the file because is used by
windows, then i boot with a disc and sucefully delete the file but then windows
can not boot (so i can not install cm6000 again). I had to restore the file
again for boot with windows. Nice try but did not work, thanks anyway.

Looking for more help yet, thanks

Manuel
