Hi All,

 

My computer works fine. But I could not find C:\boot.ini file. I am using

Dell with Win XP. I could open Boot.ini by selecting open the Start menu,

right-click on "My Computer" and choose "Properties" from the context menu.

In the section "Startup and Recovery" click the button "Settings".

 

Is anybody know why I could not find Boot.ini? thanks a lot.

system files.

Boot.ini is a normally hidden file therefore:

See: Show Hidden Program or System Files

Boot.ini is protected file. Go to Folder Options/view/uncheck protected

operating system files. Click Apply.
