This is the order of the posting, and if you want to reply to the post it
should be here, not a new thread so that the information you are responding
to flows properly.

Does your post saying
'and sorry....I'd delete my original post if i could....but this was also a
separate second problem i had....... '

belong here? Or are you trying to start another new branch of conversation
again?

OK. Try again, rename your boot.ini file to something else- try bootold.ini
for example. Then rename the old one called boot.bak to boot.ini

If you want more help about this or to make further comments follow this
thread. Don't make a new one. And follow the flow of conversation- don't
jump to top posting as this is now bottom posting.
