Hi !!!

I can't restart my computer. There's a problem with boot.ini file.
I'd like to know if possible to repair system without losing all
files.

Thanx

ciao!

Hi Jeremy,

Start the system by booting the WinXP CD and running the Recovery Console
(see below). From the command prompt, run bootcfg /rebuild.

Hi,

Ok, then try copying a new copy of ntdetect.com and ntldr from the I386
folder on the CD to the root of the boot drive.
