[Pappasmurf]

Help me in my 40 min quest to find my boot.ini file
I am using w2k, sp3, and only have c drive
have unhidden files, looked in winnit, system32 all over the bloody place and cant find it
Have opened note pad and looked through
done searches
i always thought it was in my winnit folder?
has pappa been to long out in the wild?

Root: The highest level in a directory hierarchy. For example in MS-DOS the root of the primary hard disk drive would C:\

so boot.ini should be

c:\boot.ini

If you cannot find it then you may not be logged in as a admin.

if you cannot find it go to start-run-edit c:\boot.ini

If you get an error saying it cannot be edited or viewed then you are not logged in as admin

you can also go to start - run - msconfig and you can edit your boot.ini, Config.sys, system.ini and startup programs

but then again you need to be logged in as an admin or power user

boot.ini is hidden...so check the view options also

[su root]

it's C:\BOOT.INI
you need to enable one other option in the folder options, it's called "Show system files (not recommended)" That should make it appear

edit: nm I was wrong what I posted just now. I did not uncheck "Hide protected operating system files "
