• In Windows Vista and later, you should use the bcdedit.exe command line tool to edit the boot menu configuration instead of editing the boot config file by hand. The exact commands will vary depending on exactly what you need to do, but there is extensive documentation from Microsoft as well as a helpful tutorial on a Windows 7 Forum.

• Missing Boot.ini File
• Boot File For Windows 7

Apparently any values I save in the boot.ini file that I save as a text file or 'All files' in D:/WINDOWS/pss/it does not actually change in the system because whenever I run the command bootfg values are remaining still and not able to be changed, because apparently it is not saved in XP Pro and the D: partition. No matter what I do and what I put in the boot.ini file to access the values through the windows 7 partition, the values that bootcfg returns me are always the same and he refuses to change the name of path or anything else. No matter what orders, I also put in bootcfg himself.

These are the values that bootcfg gives me: default: multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) WINDOWS Boot entries: Boot entry ID: 1 Friendly name of operating system: MS Windows XP Professional Path: multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) WINDOWS The operating system load options: / noexecute = OPTIN/FASTDETECT/usepmtimer My XP Pro partition is simply not booting, and it of my main partition and has all my work. It is imperative that it starts. My Windows CD is also not start because apparently my DVD drive does not work properly, I had the anti malware threatfire (ThreatFire) installed on my XP D:Windows program disk but have uninstalled just in case it was blocking my changes to the system. On C:Win7, I put the default operating system option in the Advanced tab for Win7 and the D:XP Pro to XP Pro, when he was the starter and work.

I'd like to add an entry to the Windows 7 boot menu, but it seems that it is not as simple as editing the boot.ini file. How to I add a new entry? I'm trying to.

Now I can only access my files D:XP Pro Player C:Win7. But XP is not just start. What shd - I do? I don't have a very practical windows CD but my CD/DVD drive is not read and does not properly. Looks like your original post stated that your cd/dvd does not work.

Hello On my old computer, HP Compaq nc6120, produktnummer: PU884ET #AK8, Serienummer: CNU508F2WQ, I installed Windows xp and windows 2000.

Before when I started this computer I could choose if I want to start windows xp or windows 2000. But lately this menu does not appear. Comes to the place a line of messege 'bad START. From C: WINDOW ', then windows xp starts automatically. I tried to find the CHEST. INI file with the help of windows search, but could not find this file. Can you please help how can I find the CHEST.

INI file and how to fix? Or at least how to start Windows 2000? Sincerely ARIO Nahram Hej, Sorry to heare who. We hope that get you healthy as soon as possible. No I googled BOOT.

INI and got a good code to it and the computer works as well as before. Thanks for concerning. Take care ARIO. Hey people, I'm trying to update my Win7 Ultimate from Vista Home Premium laptop.

However, when the beginning of the installation I get an error this boot.wim file must be reconfigured to mark 9 settings, whatever. I did a lot of research on the web and found a file called WAIK and installed it on my laptop. What I don't know how to use it properly. It seems to be the solution above my head for such a beginner like me. I guess that what I need is for someone to give me detailed instructions on what to do and once it is done where to put the file. Just to let you know I have already copied the boot.wim from my win7 disc and the file install.wim. I read that this file must also be reconfigured as well.

BTW, this is an original not a pirate windows disk. Also, if anyone knows where I can just get the files already configured that would be great. I would also like to thank the volunteers for answering my previous question. Your solution worked great! I don't seem to be able to get an answer here. I clicked on the reply button, but nothing happens.

Anyway, thanks in advance for any help. I really want to do a clean install, because I'd lose data so well that I have backups I would have to reinstall to new programs too. If you need more info, I'll be happy to offer what I can. You don't need WAIK (Windows Automated Installation Kit), so you can uninstall it. Run the Windows Upgrade Advisor - and follow the recommendations.

Uninstall your program antimalware (except Windows Defender) and run an uninstall/cleanup tool for every anti-malware program that may have been installed. List of anti-malware removal tools - and then try to upgrade. Jim. With CVI 8.0.1.

I have a big sign. I would like to see all of the panel when editing, but the uir file remains anchored in the development environment, and I have to use the scroll bars. Is it possible to open a file in its own window for editing in CVI 6.0? Well, I don't remember the CVI 6 but I guess the menu command window/output window could do what you are looking for. I use various readers of an inch USB between Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X computers.

When I insert the USB drives on a computer, Microsoft, a lot of 'noise' files appear in the Windows Explorer, with names like. I think they are system files that use the Mac and are normally hidden on a Mac (they do not appear in Finder, the equivalent of the Windows Explorer on a Mac). I also want to hide them in Windows Explorer so that I see my real data files. No idea how to do this? You could try the attrib-h command.

I have no idea what effect it would have when you return to the Mac. Try first with something unimportant. I started computing on Friday10/9/09 and received an error message from the missing from the corrupted hal.dll file.

Using bootcfg /rebuild, I was able to get the computer to run. Then I edited the boot.ini file and thought that the problem has been resolved. I can restart the computer once and it will work, but them something clears the boot.ini file and I have to cut and paste again otherwise I get the error message. Can anyone help? I thought it might me a virus. I scanned with Malewarebytes, PC Doctor, House call trend Micro House call. These come upwards with minor problems but nothing that solves the problem.

I hope that you are able to solve the problem. However, to be perfectly honest, I think that the hard drive is done.

I could be wrong, and it would not be the first time. The picture on the link below, it's what you should see when you enter the recovery console.

If a user is logged on Windows XP or Windows 2003 via Office system remotely is it possible to remove him/herself the boot.ini by all means? In a typical installation only partition of XP, it will boot fine without a boot.ini file (if not, there is another problem). If the boot.ini file is missing, you will see a message like this: Invalid BOOT. INI file Booting from C: windows XP always starts very well despite the message, then you can fix the missing file if that's your desire.
