    Google search for "i386 folder" came up with this.

    http://www.pcworld.com/howto/article/0,aid,122487,00.asp

    As far as I know, all bootable windows XP cds can create partitions as long as it is a full install CD and not an upgrade. Your computer should have coe with it unless it has one of those useless recovery discs. If youre stuck with one of those then the guide above should help.

    Ok tx I just have a small question:

    Will there be any difference between making a reinstall with Winnt.exe and Winnt32.exe?

    I normally reinstall from winnt.exe so I'm not used to this winnt32.

    It will delete my old install completly and make a clean install yes?

    I am not really sure. I found that article while searching for the answer to someone else's question. They were looking to free up space and asked if the i386 folder could be deleted. Maybe someone else here knows more about this than me and can better help you.
