Re: Boot.Ini and recovery Console

Try this while in Windows:

Click on Start | run | type "msconfig" w/o quotes then click on OK.

From System Configuration Utility, click on the BOOT.INI tab, and then click on
the "Check All Boot Paths" button.

Good luck!

Have Windows XP Home Edition upgrade from prior OS Windows ME.

Noticed during boot process error message appears quickly that says:
Invalid Boot.INI then it goes on the open windows without a problem.

I have tried several times to get to and install the recovery console but it
won't take and keeps saying the boot.ini is invalid or could not be found.

A well meaning friend said that the recovery console is not include with the
XP home edition upgrade pack.

The installation disk also says it includes service pack 2 , version 2002.

I've tried looking and following several MS service bullentins to install or
find the recover console but noth8ng works.

I'm not an expert or advanced user by any means and everything still works
in XP so it's not like I can't use my PC. Any advice would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks
