Marktait 0 Posted September 30, 2001 Can i delete the service packs files folder in the Winnt directory for windows2000 Professional ? Any help would be great Thanx Share this post Link to post
Brian Frank 0 Posted September 30, 2001 Yes, but it's not recommended. It's there so you don't have to insert the CD when Win2k needs a file, like in 98. If ya need more space, buy another hard drive. Share this post Link to post

Brian Frank 0 Posted October 1, 2001 I'd leave them there. In the event that the files in the WINNT directory got corrupted, Win2k would look to the service pack files to get an uncorrupted version. It's probably in your best intrests to just leave them there. Share this post Link to post
DosFreak 2 Posted October 1, 2001 Also in situations requiring the installation of a service pack that direvtory would be needed. I don't think MS lists the situations since they don't want you to remove the directory. If you look at the situations that require a reload of a SP in NT then you'll get the picture.
