Martin Zugec Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 Boot.ini is hidden... So U just fist enable file manager to view hidden files
newnewb Posted March 9, 2005 Author Posted March 9, 2005 the boot.ini is not hidden for me!cause I have enabled view hidden files in the explorer options,it`s just I`ve said I can`t see the boot.ini when I`m in the safemod(=abgesicherter Modus)If I have boot normal and I´m allowed to see the boot ini, I can`t edit it.

jaclaz Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 The setting you used allows you to SEE a hidden file, you must remove the READ-ONLY attributeRight click -> Properties -> UNCHECKRead-Onlyand edit it with NotepadOruse a boot.ini editor:http://www.dx21.com/SOFTWARE/Dx21/ViewItem...I=2&SI=2&OID=14or DO (in a DOS box)ATTRIB -H -R -S BOOT.INIedit itthen:ATTRIB +H +R +S BOOT.INIjaclaz
