I have my machine partitioned for use as a dual-boot machine. I installed
Windows XP on the first partition, or C: drive. After installing, I ran
Windows Update to get all the necessary updates and service packs, as well as
a few applications. I later found directories on the F: drive which I had
not placed there.
The names of the directories are:
f:\64f5b2875cff7d8b0e9f0a7f75
f:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e
f:\System Volume Information
The contents of the directories are as follows:
F:\64f5b2875cff7d8b0e9f0a7f75\amd64
F:\64f5b2875cff7d8b0e9f0a7f75\i386

I don't know what's in System Volume Information. When I try to get into
that directory, I get the message 'Access is denied".
Checking the registry, I found a reference to the directory
64f5b2875cff7d8b0e9f0a7f75 in the following location:
My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Upd ates\Windows
XP\SP4\KB954550-v5\Filelist\9
I could not find a reference to the other directory anywhere in the
registry. However, it contains a file "eula.1033.txt", which when I openened
it, appeared to be the EULA for Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition, a
program I had started to install, but had not finished since it said that
files would be placed on the F: drive.
I intend for the F: drive to be a data drive, accessible by both Windows and
non-Windows OSes. For this reason, I need to format it as FAT32, rather than
the NTFS it is currently formatted as. However, formatting would remove
these directories I have described.
Basically, I would like to know:
1) Am I correct in thinking that 64f5b2875cff7d8b0e9f0a7f75 was created by
Windows Hotfix KB954550-v5, and that b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e was created by
Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition?
2) Why were these files placed on the F: partition, when the C: partition is
50 gigs and has over 40 gigs free?
3) Would there be any adverse effects to Windows if I were to format the F
drive, removing these directories?
