BOOT.INI missing

[SAV602]

typed in msconfig, BOOT.INI is no longer there. Typed in Bootcfg and a window pops up for a milisecond and then disapears. I want to uncheck the NOGUIBOOT.

Thanks

Did you type Bootcfg from the COMMAND prompt?
If you type it at the RUN command then it will flash a popup.

To edit boot.ini in Win2k\XP you can
right-click MyComputer on the desktop or go to Control Panel \ System

SYSTEM PROPERTIES \ ADVANCED \ STARTUP and RECOVERY \ SETTINGS \ SYSTEM STARTUP \ Edit

no it was in RUN (never used COMMAND before)...when i try it in COMMAND it sais error unable to reset file permission of BOOT.INI file...

im not comfortable with the COMMAND info but i typed in bootcfg /addsw/ng and got a syntax error

my goal is to disable the Windows XP Professional progress bar. and also when i type in msconfig in RUN to get my BOOT.INI tab back which is now gone. Now it just has General, SYSTEM.INI, WIN.INI, Services and Startup...
