Dear Friends,
I am using Windows XP Professional - SP3 on Pentium 4 system. Suddenly, I started
getting "invalid boot.ini file" message at system boot-up. On examination, I found
that there is no boot.ini file in C:, I therefore inserted a boot.ini file with the
following entries.
[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
Though, now I don't get the "invalid boot.ini file" message at system boot-up but
all hidden and system files are displayed in Windows Explorer. Even after re-setting
(Folder Options - View - Hidden files and folders - Do not show hidden files and
folders), hidden files again appear on next system boot-up.
Please suggest to rectify this problem.
Thanks and Regards
Kumar
