Reword it please...
Why ,if deleted , it'll (most probably ?) cause the computer to crash ? |
I agree with helios. No, It won't crash. If the "system32" folder of an Operating system (Eg : Windows) gets wrong (Eg: Missing necessary files, corrupt critical files, Wrong information (registry) or configuration settings, invalid computer (invalid device drivers information), etc...) then the result will fail to boot the next time...
cause the computer to crash... |
No, forever. Because the computer accesses a proper OS by many methods (Compact disk (CD), DVD, USB,...) Personally I use my own USB to recovery my broken OS if needed. The computer also finds other operating systems which are not stored in system storage. It only needs a system file (OS detector & loader) to work.
What does it contain that's so essential ? |
"system32" contains most of important files and critical data information (devices, registry, ...) So like I said before, if you delete this system folder, the damaged OS won't work at all. You may insert a CD operating system or a recovery USB to reinstall it (I think you should use Symantec Ghost)
you know what, nothing bad will happen dont listen to me or helios. its a useless folder. go for it and do your best to make sure its gone |
