13, how to restore the damaged system boot file

Phenomenon: I only installed Windows XP system, but when booting, it shows "BOOT.INI is illegal, starting from C:WINDOWS" Then, it enters the startup state, and it can work as it is. What is the matter? Can the system be restored to the normal startup state without reinstalling the system?

This happens because the "Boot.ini" file under the C drive is corrupted. But since there is only one operating system in your machine, of course it is the default operating system, and even if the "Boot.ini" file is destroyed, it will automatically boot the system for loading.

The solution is to create a "Boot.ini" file. Its contents are:

[Boot Loader]

Default=C:
[Operating Systems]

C:=“Microsoft Windows xp”

15, how to recover the accidentally deleted boot.ini file

Phenomenon: When I first installed Windows XP, there was no problem after restarting. However, due to misoperation, delete a file in the C directory (file name is: boot.ini), and then display two lines each time after reboot: "boot.ini is illegal. Now from C: /Windows/Startup". Then you can smoothly enter Windows XP. But the speed is obviously slower, much slower than not deleting the file, and every time you have to see the two lines of words. How can I fix it?

boot.ini is a system file that needs to be queried when the system starts. It tells the startup program that the computer has several operating systems and where the location of each system is. To restore it, click the "Start" menu, point to "Programs → Accessories → Notepad", open "Notepad", and type in the notebook:

[boot loader]

timeout=30

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1) Windows

[operating systems]

multi(0) Disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)Windows=“Microsoft Windows XP Professional” /fastdetect

Then save it as a file named boot.ini and save this file to the C drive Just under the root directory.
