  I have 8 GB of RAM installed but only 3.00 GB usable.  32-bit win7.

  You're right, Windows 7 doesn't use boot.ini. You can use BCDEdit to enable EAP:

• XP pro do not start after changing the Boot.ini file

  The problem is that my C: partition Windows 7
  D: has XP Pro

  These should be considered right resp. partitions 1 and 2?

  I wanted to first XP pro to start the default partition.

  A few days ago, I made a change to the boot.ini file. But since XP Pro was not starting at all.

  I tried XP Pro to start first that the default partition.

  Given that XP Pro and my D: drive have not been starting, I consulted the boot.ini file in C:, Windows 7 partition and I changed the order (i.e. partition No.) in the boot.ini file and saved it to the required location, i.e. D:/WINDOWS/pss.
  through my drive C: of work, i.e. the partition of Windows 7, but it still does not work because apparently even though I save here, the actual values and the paths of the partition are not actually be changed on the system. I confirmed this by going into the CMD shell switching to D: and by running the command D: > bootcfg.
  Apparently any values I save in the boot.ini file that I save as a text file or "All files" in D:/WINDOWS/pss/it does not actually change in the system because whenever I run the command bootfg values are remaining still and not able to be changed, because apparently it is not saved in XP Pro and the D : partition. No matter what I do and what I put in the boot.ini file to access the values through the windows 7 partition, the values that bootcfg returns me are always the same and he refuses to change the name of path or anything else. No matter what orders, I also put in bootcfg himself.

  These are the values that bootcfg gives me:
  default: multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS

  Boot entries:
  Boot entry ID: 1
  Friendly name of operating system: MS Windows XP Professional
  Path: multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS
  The operating system load options: / noexecute = OPTIN/FASTDETECT/usepmtimer

  My XP Pro partition is simply not booting, and it of my main partition and has all my work. It is imperative that it starts.

  My Windows CD is also not start because apparently my DVD drive does not work properly, I had the anti malware threatfire (ThreatFire) installed on my XP D:Windows program disk but have uninstalled just in case it was blocking my changes to the system.

  On C:Win7, I put the default operating system option in the Advanced tab for Win7 and the D:XP Pro to XP Pro, when he was the starter and work. Now I can only access my files D:XP Pro Player C:Win7. But XP is not just start. What shd - I do? Thks.

  I don't have a very practical windows CD but my CD/DVD drive is not read and does not properly.

  Looks like your original post stated that your cd/dvd does not work.

  Respectfully, you will continue these hap hazard patches and your computer will not start at all. I'll try to help you once again. Please follow closely.

  Start your computer by loading Windows 7. Click HERE and download EasyBCD. Install the software in trial version. Once installation is complete open EasyBCD. You will see an interface like the image below. Click Add a new entry.

  

  A new screen appears as in the image below. Use the drop down menu to select Windows NT / 2 k/XP / 2 k 3 as described below. Type the name of the operating system in the box below. Of course, it will be Windows Xp (you can add the home or Pro to the name if you want). Make sure now that there is a check mark in the box "automatically detect the correct player. Once you have completed these steps click on 'add an entry '. That's all! You are finished. If all goes well, and if you have followed these steps carefully, there, now you have a system dual boot.

  

  You can now start working on your cd/dvd problem.

• 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.

• Modify the boot.ini file

  Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  The easiest way is to edit the boot.ini through Control Panel > switch to Classic view > system > advanced. Click settings under Startup and recovery. Now the button Edit under system startup.

• I accidentally deleted the boot.ini file, and my system is not booting.

  When I switched on my system, "NTLDR is missing. Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart your computer"appears. How do I include this boot.ini file in my system. The only splash screen appears. !!

  The choice is yours. If you have a Windows install disk, you can try to boot from it and go to the recovery console according to the instructions.  Most of the OEM machines these days above do not come with installation disks, in which case you will need to find another way to boot your machine from a CD.  If this seems difficult, that there is nothing wrong with she participates and have fixed it.

  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?

• How to reconfigure the boot.wim file

  Hey people, I'm trying to update my Win7 Ultimate from Vista Home Premium laptop.  However, when the beginning of the installation I get an error this boot.wim file must be reconfigured to mark 9 settings, whatever.  I did a lot of research on the web and found a file called WAIK and installed it on my laptop.  What I don't know how to use it properly.  It seems to be the solution above my head for such a beginner like me.  I guess that what I need is for someone to give me detailed instructions on what to do and once it is done where to put the file.  Just to let you know I have already copied the boot.wim from my win7 disc and the file install.wim.  I read that this file must also be reconfigured as well.  BTW, this is an original not a pirate windows disk.  Also, if anyone knows where I can just get the files already configured that would be great.  I would also like to thank the volunteers for answering my previous question.  Your solution worked great!  I don't seem to be able to get an answer here.  I clicked on the reply button, but nothing happens.  Anyway, thanks in advance for any help. I really want to do a clean install, because I'd lose data so well that I have backups I would have to reinstall to new programs too.  If you need more info, I'll be happy to offer what I can.

  You don't need WAIK (Windows Automated Installation Kit), so you can uninstall it. Run the Windows Upgrade Advisor - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/upgrade-advisor and follow the recommendations. Uninstall your program antimalware (except Windows Defender) and run an uninstall/cleanup tool for every anti-malware program that may have been installed. List of anti-malware removal tools - http://experts.windows.com/w/experts_wiki/156.aspx and then try to upgrade.

• How to edit the uir fullscreen file?

  With CVI 8.0.1.

  I have a big sign. I would like to see all of the panel when editing, but the uir file remains anchored in the development environment, and I have to use the scroll bars.

  Is it possible to open a file in its own window for editing in CVI 6.0?

  Well, I don't remember the CVI 6 but I guess the menu command window/output window could do what you are looking for...

• How they mask the Mac system files in Windows Explorer?

  I use various readers of an inch USB between Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X computers.  When I insert the USB drives on a computer, Microsoft, a lot of 'noise' files appear in the Windows Explorer, with names like. Spotlight. Cops and. _. Trashes.  I think they are system files that use the Mac and are normally hidden on a Mac (they do not appear in Finder, the equivalent of the Windows Explorer on a Mac).  I also want to hide them in Windows Explorer so that I see my real data files.  No idea how to do this?

  You could try the attrib-h command.

  I have no idea what effect it would have when you return to the Mac. Try first with something unimportant.

• Impossible to rebuild the boot.ini

  I have a computer infected by the virus from system tools. I was about to make the procedure of McAfee to clean off when I met the msg of bad boot.ini with:

  \system32\hall.dll
  I see that this is a problem common - and followed the instructions to start Windows Recovery, go to the repair and try to rebuild the boot.ini file. But it does not work.
  bootcfg/list gives: there is currently none available to show the startup entries
  bootcfg /Scan research yields: error: failure of analysis facilities of Windows disks successfully. This error can be caused by a corrupted... FileSystem etc.
  CHKDSK gives: the volume appears to contain one or more unrecoverable problems.
  Help, please.

  I hope that you are able to solve the problem. However, to be perfectly honest, I think that the hard drive is done. I could be wrong, and it would not be the first time.

  The picture on the link below, it's what you should see when you enter the recovery console.

• Is it possible to remove the boot.ini through desktop remotely?

  If a user is logged on Windows XP or Windows 2003 via Office system remotely is it possible to remove him/herself the boot.ini by all means?

  In a typical installation only partition of XP, it will boot fine without a boot.ini file (if not, there is another problem).

  If the boot.ini file is missing, you will see a message like this:

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

  XP always starts very well despite the message, then you can fix the missing file if that's your desire.

  You're just a few experiences or y at - it any particular problem you're trying to solve?
