boot.ini file..

When i start my computer i get this strange sentence on a black screen right before the Windows XP screen comes up.

Invalid boot.ini file
Booting from C:\windows\

Actually the real message is in norwegian.

Ugyldig boot.ini fil
Starter opp fra C:\windows\

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Best regards

    I can't find the boot.ini tab.
    But there is something called SYSTEM.ini

    Run msconfig and go to the boot.ini tab. Select check all boot paths and say yes to delete the incorrect one.

    Try Normal Startup on the General Tab.

    That actually didn't work. But what if i open my boot.ini backup file in c:\windows\pss and create a new one i c:\ wich i then call boot.ini? Could that do the trick?
