No. The Boot files for the Windows OS are stored within the system directory(C:\), the root of the drive 'C' for single installtion, for dual boot configuration it will be on the root of the drive that the Windows or WINNT directory is located on.
So, for windows OS the boot files are stored within the system root directory (C:\) and the system files are stored in the boot directory (C:\WINDOWS\system32 or C:\WINNT\system32) based on the version OS 2000 and later versions.

Peace!!
