Jan 07, 2009 If the system ever needs files from the i386 folder, it will automatically look in the C:i386 folder. You can also do the trick with Windows 2000 and XP Professional client computers that were. Your impression is correct, the I386 folder (which is also on your Windows XP CD) contains all the system files for the Windows XP operating system. It is probably on the hard disk to make it easy to access those file without having to insert the CD into the drive.
I am working on a solution for you. In the mean time, since you obviously have access to another computer, follow the steps below.- Insert your Windows Xp disc into the cd/dvd drive of the working computer. Press and hold the shift key to prevent the contents of the disc from opening;
- Open My Computer or Computer (depending on the OS) > right click on the cd/dvd device containing the disc > explore;
- Click on edit > select all > click on edit again and choose copy;
- Open my documents > right click in a free space and choose to create a new folder. Name the folder XPCD;
- Open the XPCD folder > right click and choose paste;
- Locate and have ready a blank disc capable of holding atleast 700mb.
- Click on the first link below > Contact us link where you can provide me with an email address to send the link for the files. This will prevent either of us from posting our email addresses on a public forum. ( the link is to my website)
