1. Windows doesn't normally create that folder on the ESP. 2. The ESP is not auto-mounted under Windows. 3. That folder is safe to delete in any case. That said, if this is happening, it sounds like a defect in installboot. Providing the error message would be helpful. Noting this as a harmless quirk is the wrong approach. It may be an error in string parsing perhaps due to the length of the filename or presence of spaces (a wild guess). Regards Lloyd
