  Why don't put you your XP drive afflicted and fix it using the XP Recovery Console?

  The situation is usually very simple to solve without moving from your HARD drive to another computer - and how you can fix this if you didn't have another computer to move to-reinstall XP from scratch or 'try' a repair installation?   If you had any XP installation CD?  (The Uuless Ghost FUBAR had somehow your Windows installation)

  You don't have a Recovery Console CD?  Make one following the instructions on this link:

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic276527.html

  If the NTOSKRNL. EXE is really missing, or even suspect, that's just replace it by using the Recovery Console.  It is in many other places on your HARD drive - just copy in a replacement and be on your way.

  If you have doubts about your boot.ini, just rename or delete (rename boot.ini.bak boot.ini).  XP doesn't have a boot.ini file to start in a general single partition configuration.  It will complain, but still boot without one if all the other pieces are in place.  Your question of the NTOSKRNL. EXE missing error is unlikely to have anything to do with the boot.ini anyway, but you can try things if you wish.

• ' INVALID BOOT. Message from INI file when you start Windows XP

  I get the error message "INVALID BOOT. INI file"when I start the computer, but then, it goes into XP.  Could someone tell me please how to fix this?  I don't have the Windows XP CD because my friends brother died and they gave me the computer, and it was already installed.  I could get the CD if necessary, but I was wondering if there is a way to fix this without it?  Thank you in advance for your help!

  If you see a message like this:

  Invalid BOOT. INI file
  Booting from C:\windows\

  This usually means that the c:\boot.ini file is missing, but you can replace it.

  In a facility only XP partition has not even need a c:\boot.ini file starts - he's going to complain, but this threshold always begin.

  You must create a new file c:\boot.ini.  It's just a text file, so you can use any text editor such as Notepad or WordPad to create a new file.

  Here is an example of a simple c:\boot.ini file you can copy and paste the text to a new file. :

  [boot loader]
  Timeout = 5
  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 "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

  When you get this text into your text editor, do a save as, and save the file as:

  c:\Boot.ini

  Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file.

  Then restart your system.

  If the file is missing once again, we need to understand why and fix it.

• Invalid Boot.INI message at startup

  After changing the battery CMOS, I get an invalid "boot.ini" message at startup.  Any suggestions?

  It is not sensible that results change the CMOS tossed in this message, but you can understand the problem and fix it.

  In a single partition configuration, XP doesn't have even a boot.ini file to start.  If missing the file XP will complain but always starts very well without one.

  If you see a message like this:

  This means generally that the c:\boot.ini file can be completely absent (for some reason any).

• the Boot.ini file is missing

  Miss me the boot.ini file, but I don't have a disc of xp files because windows xp is installed.  Should I buy windows xp to resolve this problem?

  First of all, make sure that you have not left a CD/DVD in a drive that is checked for an operating system before the system partition of the hard drive. If there's nothing there, you should be able to repeat your BOOT. INI file.

  XP BOOT. INI file resides in the root directory of the drive system (usually c :)). This is a simple text file, but marked as hidden. If you have another computer, you can create or copy one from a computer with a similar setup to yours (for example boot from C:, Windows XP files in c:\Windows, etc.).

  The following can be copied into Notepad and saved to create a simple BOOT. INI file.
  [boot loader]

  timeout = 30

  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
  If you have access to another computer, consider mount the hard drive broke as a slave and creation/copy of a BOOT. INI file in the root.

  Hello

  On my old computer, HP Compaq nc6120, produktnummer: PU884ET #AK8, Serienummer: CNU508F2WQ, I installed Windows xp and windows 2000.

  I tried to find the CHEST. INI file with the help of windows search, but could not find this file. Can you please help how can I find the CHEST. INI file and how to fix? Or at least how to start Windows 2000?

• Error code 0x000000TF not able to boot in safe mode on Windows XP computer.

  Original title: xp suddenly will not start in safe mode.

  I haven't added any software and I don't seem to have any virus, any help?

  error message 0x000000TF 0 x 80042000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

  Try at least the basics:

  1. first of all, check the intregity of your player. If it is not quite right, you will not be able to start. If fix you (by running chkdsk), maybe it's ALL that is necessary. At the command prompt, run this command:

  Chkdsk /r

  (There is a space before the slash). I know that that page has a slightly different order, but the /r switch (to repair bad sectors and recover readable data) is all that is necessary. For more information, see:

  http://vlaurie.com/Computers2/articles/Chkdsk.htm

  Plan for several hours to run chkdsk/r. But this could very well be all that is necessary.

  2. If still no joy, you'll need to fix your boot.ini file. Until you do this, you will have to remove some attributes of this file, so you can change (the flags 'Hidden' and 'System' and 'Read only'). So, at the command prompt, enter these commands:

  C:ATTRIB H C:\\BOOT. INI
  C:ATTRIB R C:\\BOOT. INI
  C:ATTRIB S C:\\BOOT. INI

  Then, delete the boot.ini file. It is fine to do, especially if there is something wrong with her! You create a new.

  DEL BOOT. INI

  Now, rebuild your boot.ini file:

  BOOTCFG /REBUILD

  (even when there is a space before the slash)

  Continue to follow the instructions on this page:

  http://tech.Icrontic.com/articles/repair_windows_xp/

  Add installation to boot list? Enter y

  To enter load identifier, type:

  Windows XP Home Edition (I think that's what you have. For XP Pro, type "Windows XP Professional")

  To the operating system load options, type:

  / / fastdetect / noexecute = optin

  (even once, there is a space before each slash)

  Note that in case your CPU has NO other buffer overflow protection, you must not enter the "' / noexecute = optin" switch. " But it's a safe assumption you have and you should use it. Google or ask here if you don't know what CPU you have.

  For pour ecrire to write the newly created boot sector on the hard disk, type the following at the prompt:

  FIXBOOT

  (And press on Y to confirm).

  I mean chkdsk /r first because that's all that would be necessary. But you also have other instructions. If still no joy, restoring the so-called manual system might work:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/307545

  If still no joy, I'd go for the Clean install (of course, you can also try a repair installation before that gap very last effort, but repair installs can sometimes be very difficult).

  Have you confirmed that all your data is backed up. If you perform a clean installation, you erase your hard drive, you know!

• XP Pro\XP Setup dual boot - want to remove the configuration option and go straight to the Pro

  Used my laptop (Fujitsu Simens Amilo Pi 1505/XP Pro) to install XP Home on a USB connected the SATA drive.
  SFSG.
  Now, my laptop keeps asking me if I want to boot into either Pro or Setup, with the installer has highlighted.

  Q. How can I remove the Configuration option and leave Pro as default boot?

  Thanks in advance.

  Open your boot.ini file (root partition C :), you should see something like the following:)

  [boot loader]
  timeout = 30
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Windows XP "/ fastdetect
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (1) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Setup "/ fastdetect

  Remove the entry (the entire line) that has the word "Setup" in it, then you now have the following text:

  [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="Windowq XP "/ fastdetect

  -Alternative-

  Start/Run/msconfig (this open the System Configuration utility.
  Select the BOOT. INI tab
  Click on the button "check all boot paths".

  If Msconfig detects a path not valid (you have stated that you have two)
  you will be asked to remove the invalid path.

  I think remember that Windows 2000 is based.

  So, you can try solution 2 on this site as long as you have a Windows 2000 disk to boot from.

  The steps are written for XP, but it should also work for Windows 2000, because it is also NT based.

  Let me know if it helps.
