boot up problem

[Guest]

is there any way i can edit the boot.ini filr while in repair mode - dos.

i configured the boot.ini to start in safe mode from msconfig because pc
wouldn't start in safe mode by using f8, but it still will not start in safe
mode and beacause i used msaconfig to make changes it will not start at all
because it keeps trying to start in safe mode
i just need to take off the safeboot;minmal switch
any ideas

many thanks

You can try bootcfg from the Recovery Console.
