Files in wrong partition
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 a f:\64f5b2875cff7d8b0e9f0a7f75 f:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e f:\System Volume Information The contents of the directories are as follows: F:\64f5b2875cff7d8b0e9f0a7f75\amd64 F:\64f5b2875cff7d8b0e9f0a7f75\i386 F:\64f5b2875cff7d8b0e9f0a7f75\amd64\filterpipeline printproc.dll F:\64f5b2875cff7d8b0e9f0a7f75\amd64\msxpsdrv.cat F:\64f5b2875cff7d8b0e9f0a7f75\amd64\msxpsdrv.inf F:\64f5b2875cff7d8b0e9f0a7f75\amd64\msxpsinc.gpd F:\64f5b2875cff7d8b0e9f0a7f75\amd64\msxpsinc.ppd F:\64f5b2875cff7d8b0e9f0a7f75\amd64\mxdwdrv.dll F:\64f5b2875cff7d8b0e9f0a7f75\amd64\xpssvcs.dll F:\64f5b2875cff7d8b0e9f0a7f75\i386\filterpipelinep rintproc.dll F:\64f5b2875cff7d8b0e9f0a7f75\i386\msxpsdrv.cat F:\64f5b2875cff7d8b0e9f0a7f75\i386\msxpsdrv.inf F:\64f5b2875cff7d8b0e9f0a7f75\i386\msxpsinc.gpd F:\64f5b2875cff7d8b0e9f0a7f75\i386\msxpsinc.ppd F:\64f5b2875cff7d8b0e9f0a7f75\i386\mxdwdrv.dll F:\64f5b2875cff7d8b0e9f0a7f75\i386\xpssvcs.dll F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\baseline.dat F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\BITS_Text.htm F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\CustomText.1033.dll F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\deffactory.dat F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\DeleteTemp.exe F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\dlmgr.dll F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\DW20.EXE F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\DWINTL20.DLL F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\eula.1033.txt F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\ExpressRes.dll F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\ExpressUI.dll F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\gencomp.dll F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\Gencomp14_text.htm F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\HtmlLite.dll F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\IA64block_text.htm F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\ie6sp_help.htm F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\ie6sp_text.htm F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\locdata.ini F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\logo.bmp F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\readme.htm F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\SelfBlock_text.htm F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\setup.exe F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\setup.sdb F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\setupres.dll F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\Silverlight_EULA.htm F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\Silverlight_privacy.htm F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\SITSetup.dll F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\Troubleshoot_Guide.htm F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\vs70uimgr.dll F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\vsbasereqs.dll F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\vsscenario.dll F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\vs_setup.dll F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\vs_setup.ms_ F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\vs_setup.pdi F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\windows2000sp_help.htm F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\windows2000sp_text.htm F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\windows2003sp_help.htm F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\windows2003sp_text.htm F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\windowsXPsp_help.htm F:\b289ed8d67a915bfc2ab4e\windowsXPsp_text.htm 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? |

Files in wrong partition
Check the Creation date of the folder to see if it matches the installation
date of updates, shown in Add/Remove Programs. The Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool runs from a temp folder located on the drive with the most free space and they are supposed to be deleted when it finishes running but, do not always clean them up. Also see this: List of changes and fixed issues in the .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 http://support.microsoft.com/default...b/951847/en-us The System Volume Information folder is a hidden system folder that the System Restore tool uses to store its information and restore points. There is a System Volume Information folder on every partition on your computer.

Further to Rey's comment about System Volume Information, because F:\ is intended to be a data partition, you need not run System Restore for that partition. Right click on "My Computer", select "Properties" and click on the "System Restore" tab. Turn System Restore off on all partitions except the one(s) where Windows itself is located. -- Lem -- MS-MVP Apollo 11 - 40 years ago: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/ap...0th/index.html |
