    I agree, but only you would know if a repair install would make a difference.

    Is this normal?
    I think everyone trying to help you does not see what you do, so the answer is "No, it is not normal".

    I do agree an SFC is a good idea, it's best to run that periodically just to make sure there are no issues ...
    It can't hurt, but may find problems you don't even know about (yet).

    The best thing to do is to follow the Clean Installation Process.

    Anyways I noticed that every folder in Local Disk (c was created on July 13, 2009

    If this is true then you did not do a clean install, as per your title.

    Hey it might be normal for an Upgrade DVD set vintage Oct. 2009 which is when I received mine. For all I know that folder was there from the getgo and I just never paid it no mind figuring it was just another Windows folder.

    Do you have performance problems at all? If not then you could keep it the way it is.

    If so then the next step would be a Repair Install. The OS is reinstalled while all files, programs and most settings are kept in place. This can however pass through bad settings so it's effectivess is somewhat limited.

    Thus I'd compare the install you have now with the perfect install compiled in Clean Reinstall Windows 7 as you may not yet be experiencing Win7's native perfect performance until you delete all partitions and folllow those steps, tools and methods.

    For example the millions of users who stick with factory-installed Win7 never experience the native performance of the OS as long as they do. Having a modded OS with such an obvious and unprecedented file mishap would make the install suspect enough to me to reinstall just to be sure you've got native Win7 performance.

    Manybeers,

    No one knows what's on that disc. Your install is odd after using that disc. Members have advised you to get fresh install media and pointed you to a tutorial that will get you a very nice Windows 7 install on your machine.

    I wish you luck figuring out why that disc did what it did. It is impossible to do forensics on a machine in a remote environment.

    How you go forward is up to you.

    I installed the DVD I showed you to my ssd with two formatted ntfs partitions (one System reserved and the other the rest of the disc). By definition that is a clean install.

    When was your Program Files folder created?

    The only folder that says Date modified 7/13/2009 on the install I did 1 hour ago is PerfLogs, Common Files, MSBuild, Reference Assemblies, Windows NT and there are 4 others modified 11/20/2010.

    Every other folder shows todays date. The Program Files folder has todays date on it.

    So it must be your disc, so you can mark the thread solved.
