- Start notepad (from accessories)
- Open the file C:\boot.ini
- If this file is not empty, then STOP!
- If you have Windows XP Pro, type:
[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
else, if you have Windows XP Home, type:
[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 Home" /fastdetect
- If your OS partition (C Drive) is not the first disk, first parttion, then adjust the disk, rdisk, partition accordingly (see end of post)
- Save that as C:\boot.ini
- Change the properties of this file (right-click and select properties) and set 'read-only' and 'hidden' (may net be necessary, but I like to keep it read-only and hidden)
- Run the command (Start Menu->Run) msconfig
- Switch to the BOOT.INI tab, and click the button 'Check All Boot Paths'. If this works, you should be able to reboot safely.
I was concerned about RAID, however, I believe that the RAID driver is loaded prior to this BOOT.INI being read, and that the RAID array will be viewed as a logical device. I run RAID-0 Raptors, and this solution works for me.
If you don't know which version of windows you are running:
- Open the start menu
- Right-click My Computer
- Select Properties and the screen that comes should say in plain English.
If you don't know your partition, then best way to make sure you select the right drive in XP is to start diskmgmt.msc and see which partition is your 'C' drive.
- Type in diskmgmt.msc <enter>
- A new window titled 'Disk Management' and see which drive/partition it is under. Most likely, this is the first disk, first partition or multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1) in MSFT speak. If it is the second partition, then put '2'. This is a 1 based count (perhaps because the MBR is 0?)
What if you have windows xp media edtion service pack 2..what do you type in then? I have no clue what I am doing and i am very afraid that I might mess this up please respond with directions like above..I am not suer what to put in for the missing file.

Originally by: VossKarr I find this an easier suggestion:
Quote: If you installed the premium patch and didnt reboot yet there's an easy fix. 1. Locate your "boot.ini.backup" file in C:\WINDOWS\pss . 2. Copy it to your desktop. 3. Delete the ".backup" extension so teh file is named "boot.ini" 4. Copy your brand new shiny boot.ini to your root directory. (in most cases c:\)
This worked for me but my backup file was named BOOT.BAK and it was a hidden file in the C:\ drive.
ok i found it and have it on desktop..where do i copy it to now? i am not understanding the last part i guess.
