set up

[andy chapman]

i am told by knowledge base that i cant install service
pack 1 because a non microsoft windows programme is
conflicting with start up..

Windows has detected that one or more protected core
system files (kernel) on your computer have been
modified. The Service Pack contains updated versions of
those files, which work to provide a stable environment
for your programs. Due to this modification, the Service
Pack will not be installed. For more information, see
Knowledge Base article Q327101 at
http://support.microsoft.com.

Article Q327101 tells me to edit the Boot.ini file

My file is as follows

[boot loader]
timeout=30
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 /kernel=kernel1.exe

where and what do I edit ?

Thank you

Hello,

Just remove the part refering to the kernel so it should look like this :

[boot loader]
timeout=30
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

Is your last reference that is pointing to a different kernel file...
