I downloaded and installed a program called BootXP from bootxp.net. It allows you to replace the startup screens in windows.
But now I am getting this message before the black regular windows boot up screen.
Invalid BOOT.INI file
Booting from C:\Windows\
When I do a search for boot.ini the only reference I find is boot.ini.backup in C:\Windows\pss
This is what's inside that file...
[boot loader]
timeout=0
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /KERNEL=LOGOOS.EXE
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="(Backup Line) Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
When I go to System Properties > Advanced > Startup and Recovery I get a message...
The C:\boot.ini file can not be opened. Operating System and Timeout settings can not be changed.
I then click OK button as its the only option and the Default operating system drop down menu is greyed out.
How can I fix this?
