System 32

[Russian Doggo]

I'm sure we already know that deleting System 32 ♥♥♥♥♥ your computer although i'm curious as to what part of your PC it ♥♥♥♥♥. To elaborate, if someone were to delete system 32 what parts of the PC would survive (if any).

System32 is a part of the Windows opperating system. System32 contains most of the Windows files.

Most of it would survive per-se
But you wouldnt be able to load the OS, it would need to be repaired or formatted.

That doesn't answer my question.

Yes it does. Deleting it breaks Windows itself.

i explained it as simply as possible..

The OS would have to be repaired, otherwise entering it would be impossible.

Everything would still be on the drive, you just couldnt get into it through windows.
Youd have to connect the HDD to a different PC to gain access to any files you want to save

^This.

Take Steam for example, you download a bunch of games, but you deleted Steam core files to running Steam, now you can't open Steam, but the games files are still there, just can't access them until you repair/replace what was damage/removed for Steam, it's simple as that really.

1) It's System32, not System 32

2) "...what parts of the system would survive?"
What does this even mean? How are you defining "survive?"

System32 contains the Windows kernel, as well as numerous other system libraries. [The same with its counterpart, SysWOW64, containing 32 bit file versions, on 64 bit architectures].
Deleting this directory (which you normally couldn't do anyway on a running system) would render the OS inoperable... as you would rationally expect.

This is like asking "if I slash all the tires on my car, what parts of the car would survive?" The answer is: everything else, but don't expect to drive it anywhere.

Your analogy is about as good as your explanation, so not very. Rather than explaining things you took the "I'm going to be an a**h**e because i know something you don't" approach. Technically you could drive a car with slashed tires for a certain distance, it wouldn't be very good for the actual wheels and depending on the type of vehicle suspension could also be a problem but you could still drive it. Anyway, thats off topic, my point is please stop being a S**tlord thanks very much.

Actually, his analogy was fairly solid.

Could it be better explained? Perhaps, but a car is a good analogy. Take a vital part away, and it doesn't work. Is the entire car damaged? Nope. Just that part that is missing/damaged. The vehicle would have to undergo repair, just like the operating system would.

Hopefully you understand, especially since it has been said numerous times.

Deleting System32 doesn't, and I quote, "F**k" your system. There isn't the question of what survives, as nothing is damaged. The system just cannot boot or function properly without the System32 files.

Ummm...
You do know that when system32 files are deleted the OS can not be booted into in most cases right?

Thats the sole purpose of this thread, the OP was asking what happens when this happens.

And what i originally said was simple and correct.

-
And System 32 and System32 are Irrelevant
We knew what he was talking about.

Simply put
"Everything would still be on the drive, you just couldnt get into it through windows.
Youd have to connect the HDD to a different PC to gain access to any files you want to save"

Is an accurate statement
The point of deleting system32 files is to make the system unbootable.

The only thing that matters is
What system32 files were deleted
Depending on which ones were, the system may still be fully bootable.

I really do NOT understand why you guys had to make a Simple Question into something so difficult.

Just give an answer and let it be done.

System32 folder contains set of files which controls hardware and chipset in your computer, as well as the kernel of the Operating System.

It's pretty much protected, but if removed the PC will fail to boot and you would need the Windows disc to reinstall the Operating System.

That would be why I said that it will fail to boot.

I didn't mention System 32 vs System32. Different post from a different user.

I'm not trying to make anything difficult. The OP doesn't seem to be understanding, so I gave it a go.

We all have our own take on how to discribe things... this is an open discussion afterall.

ik it wasnt you
thats why it was separated

Well, you did have me quoted in that response.

If the "-" is the indication of separation, I assume the top part is the only part directed to me.

With that clear, the rest of my points still stand.

I did say that it wouldn't boot, so I'm not sure what the big "Umm" and the following explanation was for.

I also still stand by that we all have our own way of explaining and describing things. This is an open discussion board. No sense in acting like no one else should reply because you think your explanation was simple and correct enough.
