• 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.

• 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.

• 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?

• 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.

• Cannot convert win2k server - fails with the boot.ini on the version 3 and 4 error!

  Hello

  I am trying to convert an old win 2000 Server on an esx server, and I'm having a little trouble.  I am trying to run the converter and version 3 already tried with no luck.  On version 3, it manages at the end, think 97% I think and fails.  When I look in the logs of the converter, it seems to resemble a mistake with the boot.ini file.  I left the server for some time and today I have just spotted that the new version of the converter is out and although I'd give it a try.

  Unfortunately, I will have a chance to convert the server again.  It is not the last step.  Ive joined the output of the converter v4 logs.

  Here are the contents of the boot.ini file:

  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Server "/ fastdetect

  I would appreciate any advice or tips that I've been struggling with this and I have to get the server took off the old hardware that crack, on which it is running.

  Thanks, much appreciated

• Satellite Pro 6100 - invalid boot.ini file message at boot

  Hello

  Don't know where to start.
  I want to just run Office 2003 from my Satellite Pro. Had problems with the HDD so I decided to format using the recovery discs.

  Now, when I start the machine initially I get the following message: * invalid boot.ini file. Starting from c:\windows.*
  After a minute or so, the following message appears. * missing or corrupted system32.hal.dll file *.

  Any ideas how to fix this please?

  Hello

  Looks like the laptop cannot start the Windows operating system and a few files damaged or are missing.
  In your case, I would try to reinstall new OS.
  Format the whole HARD drive and try again.

  If the second installation does not help, then a HARD drive should be checked may be that you need a replacement.

• error starting: "invalid boot.ini file" Windows XP will then continue to start

  All of a sudden a couple of weeks, my XP computer displays a black screen 'invalid boot.ini file' message, "Now booting from a disk C:" or something to that effect.  After that, it continues to boot normally.  Previously, he asked me if I wanted to hit F2 or F8, but this isn't any longer.

  So far, it was not a major issue.  I'm just curious as to what might have caused it and if there is anything I should do about it.  Thank you

  BTW... Dell Dimension 8100, set updated to 2.5 GHz CPU, 1.5 GB memory, Rambus, Windows XP SP3...

  You will see a message like this if missing the c:\boot.ini file.

  In a single partition configuration XP, XP doesn't have even a c:\boot.ini file to start.  XP will complain to this topic, but again start very well.

  Use the Wunders statement (especially latter) to edit/create/difficulty a new file c:\boot.ini if yours is missing, then restart.  He lack the onus once again, there is something wrong.  Some third-party programs (such as the Ask toolbar) allows you to delete the c:\boot.ini on each reboot (and other things), but reportedly they sets.

  You have the toolbar or any component installed ask Ask?
