b2cm Posted September 27, 2008 Posted September 27, 2008 (edited) so when/if I d/l something is it going to go to the system or the bootTo clarify the use of terms you might want to read this: Microsoft's definitions for system volume and boot volume.And so,"system" = This is where you will see the boot.ini, ntdetect.com, ntldr, etc. "boot" = This is where you will see the Documents and Settings, Program Files and Windows folder.That means, if you download something, it will go to "boot" partition/volume, ie "C:\Documents and Settings\Longgone\My Documents\Downloads".
