SYSTEMROOT/SYSTEM 32 FOLDER

BabietechBabietech Member Posts: 53 ■■□□□□□□□□
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 D:\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". icon_lol.gif

    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.
