Where's the load file
Hi to all,
I have a duel boot system, ME / 2000, and my question is this, when booting up my PC, it comes to a dos screeen asking me to select the OS I want to boot to, either ME or Windows 2000, I would like to modify this page, to have the order changed, but cannot find it. Can someone tell me where this file is? or the name of the file that is being called here. Thanks in advance for any help. |

It is you who are mistaken. You will find boot.ini in the root of C:. Make
sure that you have Explorer enabled to see hidden system files and folders and also make sure you check all your system drives. -- Mike Maltby Captkurt wrote: If I do a search using the search functions of Windows, and it finds nothing, how can I look harder? I think your mistaken, |

I believe you're mistaken this for maybe windows 3.1 or
something. I thank you for your help, but it's not as you say, If any one else out there, knows where I can find this file, I could really use you're help, and thanks in advance. -----Original Message----- It is you who are mistaken.

Why can't you admit that you are the one who is in error? You ask for help,
get given the answer and then fail repeatedly to accept what you are told. If this is an indication of the level of your competence when dealing with computers may I suggest you give your PC to someone who at the very least knows how to use Explorer. -- Mike Maltby CaptKurt wrote: I believe you're mistaken this for maybe windows 3.1 or something.
