Missing Files

[Ansa Khan]

My computer keeps telling me that the C:/BOOT.INI file is
missing and this is preventing me from re-installing XP
Professional.
Also, I got the error msg that the file 'framedyn.dll'
does not exist or os missing.
Could someone please assist me, I really need help badly.

I really do appreciate this, thank you.

Could it be virus. Backup data and reformat.

Set the BIOS to boot CD before Hard Disk. Boot the XP CD and, instead
of Setup, take the immediate R for Repair. Assume any password
requested is blank, and TAB over.
Give:
ATTRIB -H -R -S C:\Boot.ini
DEL C:\Boot.ini
(thus deleting the old one if any just to make sure)
BootCfg /Rebuild

Also, I got the error msg that the file 'framedyn.dll'
does not exist or os missing.

That appears to arise from a path entry in the registry for a program
being missing. Easiest approach is to look for framedyn.dll (which
should be in windows\system32\wbem) and make a copy up a level into
system32
