1. Make sure you have "Hide Protected Operating system files" unchecked (in Tools->Folder Options)

2. In the properties pane for Boot.ini remove the "Read Only" Attribute.

3. Make a Backup :) before messing with Boot.ini

4. Make it Read only after you are done editing.

@echo off

ATTRIB  -R -S -H %systemdrive%\boot.ini

del /F /Q %systemdrive%\boot.ini

SET inifile="%systemdrive%\boot.ini"

ECHO [boot loader] >> %inifile%
ECHO timeout=4 >> %inifile%
ECHO default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS >> %inifile%
ECHO [operating systems] >> %inifile%
ECHO multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect >> %inifile%
ECHO C:\CMDCONS\BOOTSECT.DAT="HerstelConsole" /cmdcons >> %inifile%

ATTRIB  +R +S +H %systemdrive%\boot.ini

PAUSE
