Hi,
every time when I turn on my computer it says:
"Boot.ini has mistakes.
Loading from c:\windows\"
Checking out boot.ini I do not find anything written in it.
There are the options: /safeboot /Noguiboot /bootlog /basevideo /SOS /Minimal /Network /DSrepair. Must I click one of them? Must I write something in the window above?
Thanks for help! :cool:
 
copy and paste your boot.ini in the forum please.

Thanks
 
Please open attached file (bootini.txt).
Thanks, merle
 
Uuups, i made copy and paste...
I try again.
:(
Now it's bootini.jpg
 
yup...

sure enough it's empty. try putting this into it:

[boot loader]
timeout=10
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

This one works for XP Pro. If you have home edition, not sure if you just change Professional to Home or not
 
Thanks, but I have home edition and I don't know if it works!

yep just cut and past what hilander put in his post:

[boot loader]
timeout=10
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW
S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect

You can change the professional to HOME. Anything in the qoutes is just what will show op on boot. not a big deal.
 
actually if you have any problems, i attached my boot.ini file. Just make sure and change the file extention from boot.ini.txt to boot.ini

then copy it to c:\

that should work..

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
