I was having issues the other day and ran sfc/ scannow and it returned errors stating that it could not repair twain_32.dll or twain_32.dll.mui. In searching on Google I am finding disturbing results that make me think that these files are not suppose to even be there and are not part of the Win...

I tried installing W7 on a a spare partition on my (fakeraid) RAID1, and installation went through but I get an error after selecting W7 from the bootloader (I can still boot XP from the W7 bootloader). Is it possible that installation could pass but booting could fail if I used the wrong RAID...
