I just looked and there is no 100MB boot partition on this box and there is a WIndows.old so I am guessing this is a upgrade from XP?<br />

I haven't been paying real close attention but I swear I have seen the C:\Boot folder more on XP boxes. Is it strictly from Windows 7 installs? You haven't seen it anywhere else?

I agree with Nick that is also the only time I've ever seen it.

If you were to by chance do a fresh install of windows 7 SP1 I bet you will not see the boot folder unless specified or its not an up-to-date installation disk

if the drive has a system reserved partition and that partition is the active partition then the c:\boot is not needed and would not be created if the c: partition is the active partition then you would need to have it.

I have seen it many times. This one is on a Windows 7 Professional box but I think as a rule I have seen it on XP boxes. Inside it there are several language folders and files. The files are BCD.LOG, BOOT.SDI, BOOTFIX.BIN and a few more. It is not on the 100MB boot partition. It is on C. I do know if you delete it the computer won't boot. What put this folder there?
