Hello,

I can't start my computer, I get an invalid boot.ini error.
So I tried to rebuild the boot.ini file in Recovery Console. I succeded to make a new boot.ini file in notepad and copied it to C: inside Recovery Console and I can see it in the list but when I enter bootcfg /rebuild I get; The command is not recognized.

Is the bootini file I copied below into C correct? I have only one operating system, win2k professional and I have 4 partitions. I wonder if the values of partitions are correct? Are the numbers in bold correct?

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect


Help much appreciated, getting desperate.
