I can't restart my computer. There's a problem with boot.ini file.

files.

Thanx

Hi Jeremy,

Start the system by booting the WinXP CD and running the Recovery Console
(see below). From the command prompt, run bootcfg /rebuild.

Hi,

Ok, then try copying a new copy of ntdetect.com and ntldr from the I386
folder on the CD to the root of the boot drive.
