Damaged BOOT.INI file... Sunday, July 19, 2009 at 10:18 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by thorsak (2 messages posted) Hi: Could anyone advise me what are the precise steps to rebuild a damaged BOOT.INI? Here is a brief description of my PC-system & the problem: - have a DUAL-BOOT set up with WIN98SE & WIN-XP when WIN-XP is installed on a SEPARATE Drive formatted with NTFS file system - Pentium II with 512 RAM. The DUAL-BOOT was working perfectly UNTIL I decided to uninstall one of the useless Utility-'gadgets' of my COMCAST Cable Modem Local Area connection: I noted that the uninstallation process took unusually long and I suspected a problem with it. Surely enough, after that I could NOT properly boot my XP NTFS-formatted Drive (which was set up as the DEFAULT booting Drive), and after running the Restore Console with its many features for 'fixing' the Boot.ini file, I still can NOT access or properly boot the XP NTFS-formatted Drive EXCEPT when I'm using the Command Prompt at the Restore Console: I can get the Drive Directory listing but I do NOT know how I could use it to rebuild/repair the Boot.ini. Any advice would be greatly appreciated...! Thanks. Responses to this message: re: Damaged BOOT.INI file...
