where is this elusive "autoexec" file?
background: had a BSOD in winXP pro SP2 (which made windows
unbootable) and since i needed a larger hard drive, i formatted a new
western digital 320MB drive and used their packaged utility to copy
everything (except the corrupt windows folder) from my old drive onto
the new WD320 drive. then i rebuilt winXP pro SP2 from the windows
cd, onto the new hard drive.
now when i boot up, my old autoexec.bat file is definitely getting
executed (i am 100 percent certain of that), but a search will
not show me this autoexec file (either as autoexec.bat or
autoexec.nt),
even though i have folder options set to show hidden files (and the
"hide protected operating system files" is not checked) and also
the search option to show hidden files (and search system folders and
search subfolders). i have tried to find this file, even after booting
to
safe mode. xp will not show me the file!!!
SO, WHERE IS XP HIDING THIS AUTOEXEC FILE??? i need to edit it.
I figured it out.
He is booting from a floppy disk.
