betamax Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I'm just wondering if I can trash these folders even if I'm adding hotfixes to my install. This may have already been covered in some other thread a while back, but my initial search didn't find anything.I shall continue my search unless someone wants to shorten the task for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiki Burgh Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 all you need is the i386 dir ... you may still remove some other dirs from it (win9x dirs are very safe to remove too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexter.inside Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 unless you need deployment tools (sysprep) from SUPPORT, they are of no use to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelaniz Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Which of those folders can you remove and still keep the ability to upgrade or repair? Both would be done from the same version of XP, but Windows still calls it an upgrade, anyway.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiki Burgh Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 winntupg is required for the upgrade especially if you'd install recovery console ... win9xmig & win9xupg are for upgrading from lower OSs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelaniz Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Excellent. The Win9x* folders alone are 37MB. Gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
