Guest qq Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 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. --qq
