C:\i386 directory

Robert M. Lincoln

I had to wipe my hard disk clean, and when I reinstalled WinXP Pro, I
noticed no C:\i386 directory. Everything works fine.

What is contained in this folder and why didn't it install? Is it OEM
specific? I have a Dell, but it the directory is also on a Compaq computer
as well.

Thanks

This is a subset of the files that come with the retail XP CD, so that you
don't have to have a CD if you add/remove Windows Components, install
additional hardware that XP has drivers for and etc.
