Boot.ini is a small file in the root of the system partition which is nearly always the C: drive. The computer uses the system partition during early bootup before loading the OS from the OS's boot partition which may, or may not, also be the system partition. Boot.ini is not normally visible in Windows Explorer as it has the Read-only, System, and Hidden attributes set. The method you use to edit will depend on your circumstances. The safest method is to use Startup and Recovery which eliminates mistakes or typing errors but it has limited functionality. The most thorough method is a manual edit from Windows or MS-DOS but beware of typing errors or grossly incorrect entries. About Editing Boot.ini Be careful with your typing when you edit Boot.ini. And remember that spaces are as important as content. A few examples: bootcfg /rebuild uses correct syntax. bootcfg/rebuild is wrong! attrib -s -r -h c:\boot.ini uses correct syntax. attrib-s-r-hc:\boot.ini is very wrong! multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP" /fastdetect uses correct syntax

RSS ALL ARTICLES FEATURES ONLY TRIVIA Search How-To Geek How to Manually Repair Windows 7 Boot Loader Problems If you’re having boot problems on your Windows PC, it’s often helpful to repair the MBR (Master Boot Record) to restore the Windows 7 boot loader—and you can do it easily from the Windows installation disc. This is generally most useful if you’ve broken something and there’s a boot loader error, or if you have made the mistake of installing an older version of Windows on the same PC that already has Windows 7 which wipes out the boot loader. Note: If your PC starts booting into Windows but fails, you should probably try using Safe Mode instead. Boot From the Windows Install Disc The first thing you’ll need to do is boot off the install disc, and then click through until you see the “Repair your computer” link in the lower left-hand corner. You’ll need to choose the correct installation of Windows and then click the Next button. And then you’ll get to the System Recovery Options screen, where you can get to the Command Prompt. Repairing the Master Boot Record If you want to restore the master boot record, you can simply type in the following command: bootrec /fixmbr You can also write a new boot sector onto the system partition with this command (which is often more useful): bootrec /fixboot And of course, if you just use bootrec /? you’ll be able to see all the options. This is the same way that we fixed the “BOOTMGR is missing” error when trying to boot up Windows 7 or Vista. Replacing the Windows XP Bootloader with Windows 7 If you’ve managed to install XP on the same PC that you already had Windows 7 on, you’ll noticed that you can’t boot into Windows 7 anymore.
