Adam,

First, starting a new thread makes it difficult to keep up with what's going
on. If you need to reply to a post, keep it in the same thread.

Your BOOT.INI file should look like this, for your particular setup.

[Boot Loader]
Timeout=5
Default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[Operating Systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional" /fastdetect


Note: If the multi(0)disk(0) line wraps in this post, then you need to
correct it. As before, this assumes that XP is indeed installed on the C:
drive.
 
i apolagise about that (makeing a new post i mean....
ok so i take my old boot file

[Boot Loader]
Timeout=5
Default=C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT\BOOTSECT.DAT
[Operating Systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft
Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft
Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional Setup"

and completely replace it with the one you gave me ?

[Boot Loader]
Timeout=5
Default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[Operating Systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft
Windows XP
Professional" /fastdetect

Im just trying to be safe before i replace it , and i had
to ask b/c theres no c:\ in the new boot file you gave
 
Adam,

There doesn't need to be a reference to C:, except for this line:

C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows XP Professional Setup"

And that's a line that you want to delete anyway. The boot process looks
at the disk and partition number, and the directory name for its information
to load Windows. It really doesn't care about drive letters.

The BOOT.INI file I gave you, will boot your XP installation, assuming that
it is on the first partition of the first physical hard disk.
