I386 Folder
I am trying to de-virus a DELL computer belonging to a friend. It was a retirement gift from Duke U and came with no discs. I am seeing a C:/I386 folder that contains what looks like install files for XP Pro and it's components. Is that what this directory is for?? If so, can I burn it to a disc so that I can format and reinstall (ONLY if necessary)?? thanks chuck

You may also request a set of reinstallation discs from the following link:

you cannot use the I386 folder to reinstall XP. request a set of backup CDs and use that instead.
