Digicomm The Digital Communists	Posted - 2007.12.06 04:28:00 - [63] Originally by: Huldradans Originally by: Digicomm Sure is alot of waaaan in this thread. Msconfig, boot.ini tab...click the button that says "check all boot paths" if you have a hal.dll error on reboot...yeah good luck. It can be fixed but its a long one and I am not posting it. :) The boot.ini tab will not be there if c:\boot.ini is not present. Okay then do this. Boot from your OS cd. and follow the directions to start Recovery Console. Choose the corresponding number asked of you for your OS is on, normally its #1 Then type: Attrib -H -R -S C:\Boot.ini DEL C:\Boot.ini BootCfg /Rebuild Fixboot or http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289022

Vagablonde Minmatar Pator Tech School	Posted - 2007.12.06 04:29:00 - [65] not many replies to this, i wonder why. oh.my.god. ________________ the way back home is always long, but if you're close to me i'm holding on.
Garborg Caldari	Posted - 2007.12.06 04:29:00 - [66] Originally by: Huldradans For most setups that use the primary hard-drive with one single partition and Windows installed at c:\Windows ( you can change that below accordingly ) this ( as posted above ) will work fine for you: Go to Start, click run and type: notepad C:\boot.ini Because this has been freshly deleted, it will ask if you would like to create it, obviously click yes. Now paste the following in to the text file, and save it: [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 /NoExecute=OptIn I'm not sure if this is important, but also do the following, click Start and click Run, then type: attrib +S +H +R c:\boot.ini Goodluck, hope this helps. This is good but just may want to do this first, incase your ini differs. Quote: Save a Backup Copy of Boot.ini 1. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties. -or- Click Start, click Run, type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK. 2. On the Advanced tab, click Settings under Startup and Recovery. 3. Under System Startup, click Edit. This opens the file in Notepad ready for editing. 4. In Notepad, click File on the Menu bar, and then click Save As. 5. Right click in an empty area of the Save As dialog box, point to New in the Context menu, and then click Folder. 6. Type a name for the new folder, for example temp, and then press the ENTER key to create the folder named temp. 7. Double-click the new folder named temp, and then click the Save button to save a backup copy of the Boot.ini file.
Digicomm The Digital Communists	Posted - 2007.12.06 04:29:00 - [67] Originally by: Octaviun vista wouldn't allow a Microsoft system file to be deleted it will deny the program that asks for access and repair it. There is no boot.ini in Vista. It uses a boot manager.
Ztrain Evolution Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.12.06 04:30:00 - [68] Again we get to see how and why CCP devs are the most incompetent in the industry. Maybe they should actually start taking classes on how to actually do programming. So far I've found over 10 bugs in less then one hour in the game and only undocking 3 times LOL. I'd love to see a Dev try to say they have a quality control department. LMAO Z Originally by: CCP Zulupark That's the rough idea, yes. We still have in no way started thinking about what modules to introduce, what they would do or anything of the likes, but the idea is that.

Lord MuffloN Caldari Aggressive Tendencies Veritas Immortalis	Posted - 2007.12.06 04:30:00 - [70] Oh well, I guess it's time to slipstream a new XP CD, should have done it ages ago though Originally by: Jago Kain If they ever decide to award a Nobel Prize for Emo, Lord MuffloN is a sure fire winner of the first on

Vista doesn't use boot.ini anymore...see above...

TheDevilsJury GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2007.12.06 04:34:00 - [78] Originally by: CCP kieron We have received petitions about this issue and have alerted the proper staff to investigate. Unfortunately, I don't have further information at this time, but I will provide updates as they become available. CCP, you need to take down your patch now until it gets this fixed. To your average windows user this will kill their computer and they won't know how to fix the problem.
blake fallout	Posted - 2007.12.06 04:34:00 - [79] Edited by: blake fallout on 06/12/2007 04:35:46 well i may have lost my thumbnails to a nero driver feck up, though they where the only ones to try and help microsoft was pelase phone our úúú number) but this is a +1 for vista.

Ehronn Caldari Eve University Ivy League	Posted - 2007.12.06 04:36:00 - [81] same thing happened to me I posted in the bug thread, others said no way eve would do that... yea right Why does Eve have to name their config file the same as windows system file??? here is Eve's boot.ini [main] role=client aid=0 server=Tranquility port=26000 edition=premium Here is a copy of MY REBUILT 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 Home Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /usepmtimer used bootcfg /rebuild from recovery console on xp CD ----------------------- My Blog Dysfunctional Playground
Garborg Caldari	Posted - 2007.12.06 04:36:00 - [82] Might want to tell people not to reboot... ><
Daphne Eveningstar	Posted - 2007.12.06 04:36:00 - [83] Yeah I don't know what time it is over there at HQ but this is the kind of thing you pick up the phone and start waking people up about.

DirtyHarry Caldari Reikoku Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.12.06 04:37:00 - [85] Edited by: DirtyHarry on 06/12/2007 04:38:51 rofl same issue, XP64, how ******* stupid can you be to program "delete /boot.ini" instead of "delete /Program Files/CCP/EVE/boot.ini" into your installer, prepare for a massive influx of whine about this tomorrow when people switch their PCs on after work/school/waking up. edit: pretty easy issue to solve for the tech savvy, but those who aren't or don't have an XP CD, many lols Please do not make false statements about forum moderators

To your average windows user this will kill their computer and they won't know how to fix the problem. This is a good idea...before UK wakes up (sort of). Unless someone can recompile the installer and get it out to mirrors quickly...
Digicomm The Digital Communists	Posted - 2007.12.06 04:38:00 - [87] The US timezone are merely the beta testers for the patch for the EU timezones. You should be thanking CCP for this experience.

God-forbid you lose your OS to a patch. Funny it's waaaa I smack everyone equally. Soz. There's a metric shedload of articles on the internet on how-to fix these issues. Google is your friend. CCP hire me as your technical business analyst and let me deal with these people aight. ;)
Tomas Ysidro Caldari Contraband Inc. Mercenary Coalition	Posted - 2007.12.06 04:38:00 - [88] Brilliant move CCP
Octaviun Finite Horizon Synchr0nicity	Posted - 2007.12.06 04:38:00 - [89] A Information box should be sent Ingame telling customers this if not already done, Like the one that always appears at downtime. _________________________________________________

Yea....it's the one \ before the boot.ini delete command. if they left it out...would have been fine...but then again, the whole name a file after a system file thingy...
