   Click on the image to zoom

The BOOT.INI file is located in the root directory of the primary boot partition. It holds the menu for the available operating systems for the user to choose from. There are two parts in the BOOT.INI file:

  • Boot loader
  • Operating systems

An Example of BOOT.INI:

[boot loader]

timeout = 30

default = multi(0) disk(0) rdisk(0) partition(2) \ WINDOWS

[operating systems]

multi(0) disk(0) rdisk(0) partition(2) \ WINDOWS = "Microsoft Windows XP Professional" / fastdetect

C: \ bootsect.dos = "Microsoft Windows 98"
