[John Prophet]

welcome to the forum!

I was always under the impression that it had to be in the C:\ itself..just loose, not in any folder etc.

Here is a huge reference and list for boot.ini http://www.labmice.net/Windows2000/install/bootini.htm

On an Intel-based system (which will be assumed for the sake of simplicity in this article), boot.ini is a hidden, read-only text file stored in the root of the system partition.

"system" partition is msofts way of saying root of the c: drive usually, lol. (whereas "boot" partition is where the windows files are, which could be on any drive etc)

try going into command prompt and type
cd c:\ to get into your hard drive and then type
boot.ini and it should pop up.

Can't you type msconfig in RUN and it will allow you to change the boot.ini file?

[John Prophet]

I was going to say that also but then I remembered that possibly Msconfig isnt in w2000 is it?

[haxxorpoop]

Msconfig doesent allow you to change, just see :\
