you can NOT use the I386 folder to do a full clean install of windows or CREATE A STAND ALONE XP SETUP DISC using it. The activation feature will NOT work and also windows will error and crash a high degree.
Posted by: Jag at December 31, 2006 3:22 AMMy i386 file wins them all. It is taking up over 22 GB of my hard drive. I have no idea why and my laptop company has no idea why either. Any ideas? I really don't want to do a system restore. Thanks

Posted by: Dan at August 3, 2007 6:15 PMCan I burn this to a DVD? Is that safe and still usable? Mines is taking up over 1 gig of memory... Burning it to DVD would be great, is this recomended? I don't have a back up drive or external drive...

Yes you can. Then just use this article:
http://ask-leo.com/how_do_i_tell_windows_where_my_i386_folder_has_moved.html to
tell windows that the "SourcePath" has changed to your DVD drive (like "D:\").
Then when Windows needs it, it'll ask you to insert the DVD.

Either will work. Command shell operations are easier to display here in
pictures.
