• Two Boot.ini Problems
    2 replies, posted
Alright so, I recently got my Hard Drive a CHDSK because of some issues explained in another thread, now we are getting closer to a fix, or I hope so. [I]So once again, file recovery is primary, do not suggest any jackass solutions that could corrupt or make my files unrevoverable[/I] So here is the problem. I start up my PC, everything boots up normally. And then it tells me: [B]Boot.ini invalid[/B] [B]Some other text that I don't have time to read[/B] It then aks if I want to boot in [B]safe mode[/B], [B]safe mode + networking[/B] and ect. I let it go, it boots windows, or it starts to. I get the [I]welcome screen[/I] and windows is loading. But it stop and goes in a BSOD. The BSOD is as follows. [IMG]http://i.ehow.com/images/a04/ml/n0/fix-unmountablebootvolume-blue-screen-death-800X800.jpg[/IMG] Now I read some articles and these two problems don't seem to be related, but I am guessing they both have to do with boot.ini . Now I was given two solutions. [B]1. Recovery Console and make a FIXBOOT[/B] This solution is to fix the BSOD which occurs AFTER my boot.ini invalid problem. [B]2. Recovery Console and rebuild the boot.ini file with bootcfg.exe[/B] Now what of the two am I supposed to follow? I don't wanna screw anything up. My files need to be safe and recoverable. Thanks
if you are hard core look up boot.ini and rewite it or (in recovery console) cp <driveletter>:\<path to boot.ini> C:\windows
But which one would you recommend the most? I don't see what your; [QUOTE](in recovery console) cp <driveletter>:\<path to boot.ini> C:\windows[/QUOTE] means
