The i386 folder is the basic XP install files. If you don't have an XP CD,
copy this entire folder to CD and put it away. It will be useful if you
have to completely rebuild the machine and did not get an XP CD.

XP should be looking in this folder whenever it installs things. What was
it you were trying to do?

If you copy your i386 folder to a hard drive and assumes C.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup
CDInstall 0
SourcePath C:\

scannow sfc (sfc.exe)

When scannow asks for the disk, there should be a browse button. Browse to
teh \i386 folder on the C drive and click OK to start the scan.

That is for backup and recovery purposes.
