Re: msconfig problem.....

Pegasus, HeyBub, Brian and Haggis,

I took a look at the boot.ini file and compared it to the sample one on the
microsoft knowledge base from the link provided by Brian. I simple copied and
pasted it to my boot.ini file and changed "windows" to "winnt" for my system
and Msconfig works like a charm now.And the dual boot choice is gone. So
thanks to all who weighed in on this problem!

This seems normal to me.

From your description, msconfig cannot solve your problem(upon boot I get to
choose between 2 windows) and the problem is in boot.ini. You may check
below article for how to edit boot.ini.

Ok I opened a cmd prompt window and when I type msconfig.exe it says that
command is not recognized as an internal or external command. The only
reason
i ran it is because, for some reason, upon boot I get to choose between 2
windows(default) and i only ave 1 windows installation on c drive.

After copying my windows installation to a new drive, using MaxBlast 4,
and
after booting to the new drive successfully msconfig no longer works.
When
I
type it into the RUN box and press OK it does not work. I see a little
flash
on the screen like something happening in the background and then
nothing.
Can i repair msconfig somehow?

You're jumping to conclusions by assuming that msconfig.exe
does not work. I suspect something entirely different. Give
yourself some eyes so that you can see what's going on, by
running msconfig.exe from a Command Prompt. You can
start a Command Prompt by clicking Start / Run / cmd {OK}.
