Hi,
I would like to make XP boot a lot faster and get away from the 30 second
count down. How to?
Looked for "boot.ini" but not available on my machine.
TIA.

Bwahahahahahaha!
Why do you wait, you gormless ****? Just hit enter (on the OS you want =
to logon to) when the countdown begins, this as you seemingly have a =
dual-boot system.

Every NT kernel base OS has a boot.ini file.
You couldn't find it because it is a hidden file in the root of the c:\
