SYSTEMROOT/SYSTEM 32 FOLDER

I want to be clear on this subject. Is the systemroot/system 32 folder is part of the c: drive?

Which is the active partition? Or, is it apart of the system partition?

I would have to assume the system partition because it is a subfolder of the windows folder which resides on your system partition

It depends on where you installed Windows. From a command prompt just type:

echo %systemroot%

The active partition is the partition you boot from.

On my computer, it's under the c:\windows

Yes, that is where it is on most systems by default. But if it were somewhere else, like

\Windows or C:\WINNT that command would tell you.

Hi what does WINNT stand for? Does it stand for Window New technology?

NT stands for "Not Today".

Before Windows 2000 came out, the server version of Windows was called NT - I am not sure what it originally stood for, I think I heard "New Technology" once. WinNT and W2K both installed to a \WINNT directory. XP and W2K3 install to \Windows.
