FthrJACK Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 have you tried going to START > Run > type in CMD, hit enter. a command shell will open, type in:edit c:\boot.iniC being the letter of your primary partition, whatever letter it may be on your system.now remove the lines you dont want, save the file and reboot.

amdphr3@kXP Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 yeh u wont b able to modify it whilst win2k3 is running, are u using fat32 or ntfs? If fat32, boot from a win9x cd and type attrib c:\boot.ini -r -a -s -h, c:\ being the letter of the partition that it is located then edit c:\boot.ini, c:\ also the letter of the partition.If NTFS, you should be able to boot from the win2k3 cd into setup, once at the first setup screen, enter the recovery console. You should be able to type attrib...etc there and then edit c:\boot.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
