Is It Safe?

It seems that Vista has left two folders behind - $WINDOWS.~Q and
$INPLACE.~T; is it safe to remove these folders, move them to another drive,
or zip them up?

Re: Is It Safe?

Those two folders mean it didn't install correctly... not enough to prevent
bootup and Vista working but not a perfect install either.
