I'm trying to write a .bat file (under WinXP) that will search for files containing a certain string (for example, if the words "hello there" are found within the file) and then delete those files. I need to be able to search all available drives.

IF EXIST A:\ -> search A:\ for files containing string, then delete those files repeat for B:\ to Z:\
