Zandaar	Posted - 2007.12.06 05:45:00 - [241] If like me, you have SP1 windows OEM disc which does not include a repair utility, you can try making a new file, calling it "boot.ini" save as all files in your C:\ directory with the following text in 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" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect But, probably better to do the restore.
Elberethe	Posted - 2007.12.06 05:45:00 - [242] Well installer thats up atm still has the problem, just rebooted juuuust fine after putting my backup boot file in my c directory.
Surfin's PlunderBunny Minmatar mUfFiN fAcToRy	Posted - 2007.12.06 05:46:00 - [243] HAHAHA, XP 500, Vista 1. We're catching up! Originally by: ISD Valorem The Devs have stated multiple times that they are looking at the Amarr issues.

Elliott Manchild omen. Triumvirate.	Posted - 2007.12.06 05:52:00 - [245] I knew this patch had go to well :( Lucky I have a crap pc. But I feel v. bad for corp mates etc that have gone to bed to maybe find there pc won't turn on tomorrow. Testing is over rated ? :(
Iratus Caelestis KIA Corp KIA Alliance	Posted - 2007.12.06 05:53:00 - [246] /waves at QA Team..... Seriously.... that was missed how. All working nicely for me though, patch is awesome from where I'm sitting.
Arric Rohr The Knights Templar Pure.	Posted - 2007.12.06 05:53:00 - [247] I tend to support CCP through long patches, etc. because their product is just so good. But this, this is amateurish and unprofessional to the extreme, putting something out that damages the customer's computer. All the fixes listed are well and good, but a lot of the customer base is non-techie and screwing around with install discs, rewriting system files, etc. is something they just don't know how to do. Maybe releasing it a few hours early was not smart. Get your act together, CCP, this is really poor customer service. Really poor. AR Where do I get one of those cool signatures?
Max Grief Minmatar Wreckless Abandon Triumvirate.	Posted - 2007.12.06 05:54:00 - [248] Someone is going to come to work tomorrow to find their stuff sitting outside in a box.....
Bacchanalian Stimulus	Posted - 2007.12.06 05:54:00 - [249] Confirming that the fixes in this thread worked. Thanks to everyone here and those who helped me--I'm like a blind man trying to pick a redhead out of a crowd of bald women when it comes to PC-related stuff, and this would have basically ended my ability to use my computer until I finished completely unpacking my house after my recent move (probably several weeks from now). As for CCP, not much to say that hasn't been said already. This is truly a colossal ****-up, and frankly it's a crying shame that the positive press this patch should have generated will instead be overshadowed by this completely and totally unnecessary glitch. ____________________ GM Sunshine > oops Neurotica > Hate to see a GM in your gang say 'oops'

Kane Rizzel NovaKane Incorporated Derek Knows Us	Posted - 2007.12.06 05:57:00 - [251] Gross negligence on CCP's part. Whoever wrote that brilliant bit of code should be brought under disciplinary review, if not one person but the whole department. Originally by: High Sierra note to self: dont ever say anything to anyone on the internet about anything ever again.

Shardiss JCI Incorporated	Posted - 2007.12.06 05:59:00 - [253] Hey, I thought we weren't supposed to get killmails with the new patch. So what the heck is this? 2007.12.06 02:01 Victim: Windows XP Alliance: None Corp: Microsoft Destroyed: boot.ini System: Tranquility Security: 0.0 Involved parties: Name: kieron (laid the final blow) Security: 5.0 Alliance: Band of Developers Corp: CCP Ship: Patch Weapon: Graphics Upgrade
Jonls	Posted - 2007.12.06 06:00:00 - [254] I'm still having issues with my system hanging when I restart. I still have my boot.ini file... I installed the game to C:\Games\CCP\EVE. I get no errors at all. The only thing that happens is the computer hangs when my desktop appears. so pretty much when the system is starting-up programs.
Revoluti0nx Raging Phoenix	Posted - 2007.12.06 06:00:00 - [255] So......Is the problem only happening with premium so classic is safe? I bear missles, not arms
Dr Slice Katana's Edge	Posted - 2007.12.06 06:01:00 - [256] I thank Crom for being at work. If I were home, I would have fell under this dreadful spell and probably have resorted to punching holes in my apartment wall after realizing my PC doesn't boot anymore. GG

Classic should be safe. I think a lot of people have found a reason not to upgrade to premium (at least for now). --- Join BH-DL Skills

Tiberius Dresari Caldari Acerbus Vindictum	Posted - 2007.12.06 06:01:00 - [260] Times like these I thank myself for installing EVE on the good ol' external hard-drive. Yesiree. Checked my C:\ Drive, (seeing hidden files on) BOOT.ini's still there. I guess I dodged a torpedo-sized bullet on this one, but I sympathize for whomever's finger slipped and added an extra "\"

Arktiger Gallente MacroIntel United Corporations Against Macros	Posted - 2007.12.06 06:06:00 - [269] My Boot.ini file is still in my C: Folder after the Full Trinity install. Could this be an issue with just "upgrading" to Trinity from the standard version?
Kai Shinkachi Gallente Fellowship of United Kopi Kau Kau	Posted - 2007.12.06 06:07:00 - [270] My favorite part about Trinity... Drone AI New ship skins New Graphics? NO! The best part of Trinity is the look on everyone's faces when their Boot.ini went POOF. Oh dear, well CCP godspeed to ya all in getting this fixed. And thanks to those on the forums putting up warning signs. Sig? What sig?
