Autoexec.bat
boot.ini
config.sys
io.sys
msdos.sys
ntbootdd.sys
ntdetect.com
ntldr
That list of files is present in the root directory of my DATA disk. No
OS installed on it at all. I did not move or copy them there, at least
not knowingly. These are similar to files I am accustomed to seeing in
the root directory of a boot disk or partition. These files (with
different dates and/or times) are present in the Vista partition root
directory.
Also present are a few folders with those uniques names created by
whoever creates them (names like 0bc9d3bbd37024433211fb44)
These contain folders like update (in one folder) amd64 i386 (both
in 3 different folder, each pair with different date modified dates)
Can anybody explain or make an educated guess as to why these files are
here and how they got there?
Don
