What version of windows do you run?
Most versions have a system32 folder and it cannot be deleted otherwise windows would not boot up.
Do you use dual boot? If so are you looking in the right drive.
We need more information to help you.

Did you tell windows to "Show Hidden Files and Folders"? If not you probably won't see it. But if you do have it set to show them, the folder might be in another location .. but once again if it isn't you got major issues :]

i do dual boot, but with linux. and im positive that i'm looking in the right drive.
i did have a system_32 folder about a week ago...
and i just now recieved a popup from windows saying that i might have a damaged registry. OK. wow. that sucks. um... could that have something to do with it. i know this is a genuin version of windows. |
