Windows XP Pro: How do I edit the boot.ini file?

[Chaotic42]

Where is it? I can't find it anywhere. I need to edit it, because I've got some weird computer stuff going on. It's a bit lengthy, so I won't bore you.

notepad c:\boot.ini

Right-click My Computer, Properties (or Windows key + Pause) -> Advanced -> Startup and Recovery -> Edit

It's in the root folder of C:\. It's a hidden system file, so you need to go into folder properties and make sure that Show hidden files and folders is selected, and Hide protected operating system files is unchecked.

Yeah that was the problem. I forgot where I was I guess. I tried dir boot.ini /s and didn't get anything, then tried /Windows. Thanks!
