No Boot.ini file? Possible?

[+Jared]

I have been looking for my boot.ini file. I can not find
it. I have hidden files/folders visible and have used the
search also with no luck. I don't think I have one...is
this possible? If not...then why can't I find it? Thanks

Explorer|Tools|Folder Options|View, then radio button for "Show hidden files
and folders", then uncheck the box for "Hide protected operating system
files" to locate the files in the system partition.

the legit boot.ini (it is totally possible to have more than one) is
located in the root of the system partition. Go into Disk Management
and it will tell you which drive letter is your system partition.

You can then either follow Dave's suggestion, or just open a command
prompt, which, IMHO, is soooo much easier.

cd /d [system partition drive letter]:\
dir boot.ini /a
