I keep getting an error message when I boot up the computer. It says"invalid
boot.ini file". Have no clue where it came from or what it means. Can
anyone help?
 
Try installing xp cd,exit the info page,go to run,type:cmd In cmd
type:VERIFY ON
Then type:Sfc /Scannow When its thru type:CHKDSK C: /F Agree,type:EXIT
Remove xp cd,restart computer.
 
Right click My Computer, select Properties, Advanced, Startup and Recovery,
Settings, Edit. Copy and paste the contents of your BOOT.INI file in a
reply.

Additional information needed. One hard disk in your system or multiple?
Single or multiple partitions?
 
I did as you suggested. Boot file is empty. There is nothing in the box.
The Boot.ini file tab was missing in msconfig. I created a new one, but it
is also blank. When I get the start-up screen, if I go to "Boot", the Quiet
Boot is enabled, but the Quick boot is disabled. Anything to be done here?

Answers to your other questions: One hard disk, don't know the answer to
the partions part. This is a Dell Dimension, year 2000, windows XP Home
Edition. Any help is greatly appreciated!
