i386 uses
I understand that if windows refuses to start for one reason or another that you can go into the i386 folder to reinstall windows without damaging any other software on your computer is this true and if so how is it done and is it different on each windows release. Please reply to help a confused user. :smoker:

Not all problems regarding booting-up can be solved by re-installing windows, and yes every version of windows is a diff. I386.

Maybe if you kept your i386 folder it would keep some windows settings...oh yeah and i think only windows 2k and later have the i386 folders, but i could easily be wrong. i'd just wipe the sucker clean instead of keeping a few folders of settings, copying a folder of windows root settings could definately complicate things.

a little contradictory :P :lol: |
ur right, i386 folder contains files needed to install windows > 2K version.
Win 9x-me installation files are contained in a cabinet. Now, if windows refuses to start for one reason or another, reinstalling windows might not solved the problem. But if u want to install windows xp without damaging other prev. installed software, try installing XP (Upgrade option). CB-Byte |
this is probably just personal preference, but i definately like win2k better.

Actually wouldn't it be windows = 2k version?

well not in this context:

but ya the simple statement "windows = 2k" would be correct in its logic.. and if that was a little joke propig you got me goin 8) |
Actually, joke is on me. I got my windows versions mixed up :lol:
Yep got my head stuck in code waaaayyyy to much today. |
actually, it would include Windows XP also, I was going by NT verison, and it would be >= NT5 (NT5.1 is XP)
