Vista installation

[BBW]

I had to reinstall Vista on a Dell PC.
Normally when I reinstall XP, i copy the i386 folder from the installation
CD to the C:\, so I will not need the CD should I install any windows
components.
If I want the same for Vista, what folder do I copy over to the C:\

Thanks,
Tom...

There is no need to do this with Vista as it lays
down a complete image when you install it.

IIRC this hasn't been required since Windows ME.

IIRC this hasn't been required since Windows ME.

It wasn't "required" even then, but did sometimes come in handy.
