missing boot.ini & standby-mode
This is a discussion about missing boot.ini & standby-mode in the Customization Tweaking category; Hi there! The first problem is about my boot. ini. . . If i start Win2k it tells me, that my boot. ini is corupted. As I checked it out (with activated visiblity of the system files), I found out, that it is missing.
Hi there!
The first problem is about my boot.ini ... If i start Win2k it tells me, that my boot.ini is corupted.
As I checked it out (with activated visiblity of the system files), I found out, that it is missing. So
my problem now is, that I don't know how do reconstruct it. Is there any tool, or could I do it myself.
I'm not sure, but I think, that I have got this problem since I used Norton Ghost to move my
Win2k-System from my old HD to the new one.
The second problem concernes the power management: I am not able to set my PC into the standby-mode,
although the hibernate-mode is working fine. Former none of them worked, till I've activated the APM.
Under Win98 and ME the standby-mode worked fine so the motherboard should also support it under Win2k.
My relevant hardware-details:
- 2 HD's
- Win2k is installed on the new HD (1st IDE-controller as master) in c:\winnt
- I've got a GA 686-BX from Gigabyte with the newest Bios-version
- the CPU is a PII running at 400Mhz
It would be really nice, if someone could help me.
Thanx in advance,
Brougs

Have you tried running the repair option off the Win2k CD?
OP
Thank you Brian. I've tried the repair option and now I finally got a boot.ini.
But does anybody know a solution for my second problem with the standby mode? (descirbed in my upper post)
Thanx anyway,
Brougs
