Extra languages under c:\Boot

[bizzybody]

Once I tried deleting everything under c:\Boot except for the en-US folder and Fonts folder. I don't recall if I left the rest of the files under Boot or not.

Whichever, after that, Vista wouldn't boot.

WTF would it need all those folders and the files in them when this is an ENGLISH version of Vista? 12.7 megs of non-english folders and files- leaving the en-US folder and contents and the other files under Boot.

I can't guarantee this will work for you, but it worked for me.

I deleted every subfolder in the C:\Boot folder except the en-us folder, and deleted every file except for files named BCD, BCD.LOG, BCD.LOG1, BCD.LOG2, bootstat.dat, and memtest.exe. My Vista install boots just fine.

I deleted the files and folders from a Linux installation on my computer.
