Anthony,
Sadly I agree with you. Specially with video cards. I freely admit that
I have not kept up with this tech for the past many years; mostly
because it was changing too fast, and, the prices escalating beyond my
ability to play! The numerous M$ OS changes did not help either. Add in

TBH I used underhanded tactics to replace at least one card by purchasing a new one &
returning the the old (same model) in it's place knowing the big reseller has more
power than I do getting replacements.
Sapphire went so far as to not commit to sending me a card with the same defect. In

jmccraw,
I recall your past skirmishes w/Sapphire. Was why I wrote them off my
possible choice list! I chose branded-ASUS ATI video cards(2). So far so
good. But I remain ansy to replace them still.
Thank you for your mini-war. Your results suck, but some of us do
appreciate your battles and lo
Okay, I tried furmark and tried to relate my performance to what they
have posted and I must be doing something wrong. I have a GTX280 (older
one I admit), but I was merely getting 3051 when others have posted 10
times as much. I'm only running an E8500, sure, but I can't be really

Send it to me and I'll RMA it. LOL

Should I be stupid enough to DELETE a 'boot.ini' file on an XPpro
machine,..
...do I have a chance of getting this machine back?
Can I use a Repair Install to fix this stupid USER error?
This is not cardiac arrest.
This is a very old and "dying" machine I forced to WinXP.
This is an Asus CU
off the top of my head forget the commands but is possible to rebuild
the boot.ini from a repair console when u boot to the install disk,
lot easier then a repair install.

Was it a standard install on the first partition of the first HD?
AND SINGLE BOOT?
Note mine are "enhanced" single boot...
It lets me use this as *another* Windows boot menu (of sorts).
They seem to be almost the same unless you got real fancy with the install.
If you want mine, I'll send it to y
Or grab one off another machine and look at the structure and make any drive or
partition adjustments before copying to the dead box using a boot disk or bootcd

Rick,
I suppose this share assumes I can even view THE boot.ini file.
I can not.
Standard 'upgrade' install (from 22k).
I'll answer "SINGLE BOOT?" as I believe so. I do NOT do any form of
DUAL-BOOT.
The machine boots to its' "known" OS; which I assume to be WinXPpro.
Yada-Yada. You wizards do so
Lopaka,
I have 7 clients. 6 of them are XP.
Yes, I can grab this file from any one of them.
Way to bad than all 7 are NOT the same.
SUX2BME!
I suppose my question is:
"Does XP need BOOT.INI to boot up?"
If so, I'm working on making this file come active.
Somehow.
More as I dig. :)

THX AL,
Good reminder. LOL!
Believe I still now owe a past set of funeral pix (1st CUBX).
My bad. This one will be recorded. It is Spring. I can now play with
fire again, I think!
Just not certain I need to move to funerary duties yet...pending.

also fwiw it is possible to copy a few files to a floppy and windows
will boot from it. I used to make those for safety but have not in a long time.
memory is suspect but I believe the files needed copied to a bootable
floppy( not even sure if this is needed or not) maybe tomorrow I will
play so
FORC5,
tnx. not down to a FD yet. That will be my last try for sure. This
machine does still have a FD (1 of 2; out of 7).
Not sure it even works any longer. No bother.
Changed bios boot order to the CDRom.
Odd.
Machine will not even boot any CD either? BartPE?, XP? W2K?

I suppose my question is:
"Does XP need BOOT.INI to boot up?"
Yes, it is critical. It tells the bootloader where to locate and then
to start Windows.
All you need to do is try different ones, the switches need to be as I posted.
When you find one that works, use it.
You need to

Bummer, you need to get "that" working first. BartPE would be my first choice.
BartPE "always" works if the hardware is willing...
