Hi,

Installed Xp 3 days back & I get Invalid boot.ini error why?
What is wrong?
I did a search on my XP Pro and while I
didn't find a boot.ini, I did find a
boot.ini.backup.
In it:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\Windows
[Operating Systems]
multi(0)disk(0)partition(1)\Windows="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
Dunno if this is any help - but there it is.
boot.ini.backup is in C:\Windows\pss
You'll have to use the XP cd. Select the option to repair, but make it go into "Recovery Console mode." From there, you can bring up a help menu by typing help or a question mark (?). You're only interested in two commands in the list called "fixboot" and "fixmbr."
You want to run "fixboot" first, then exiting the Recovery Console and seeing if that fixes your issue. If not, retrace your steps back to the Recovery Console and run "fixmbr." You shouldn't have to run "fixmbr," but there is always a possibility.
Thanks for the reply guys!
I will try this Recovery Console mode option & will see what happens!
make your hard disk first boot! ^_^
set your first boot is hard disk!:
Why making double post?
