Default Invalid BOOT.INI file

How do I get rid of this message appearing as I boot the computer into
Windows XP?

Not sure how or why it got there it just appeared, possibly after installing
Nero, but could be mistaken.

Not a big problem because immediately following the message I get "Booting
from C:\Windows" and all is well.

I just find the message annoying.

If you go to the run command (start, run) then type in 'msconfig' it
will have an option to look at the boot.ini file, check it, and if you
want, bypass or modify it.

You have not really told us what the message is - so cant help more.

HTH
Cheers

Thanks Justin and An & Larry for your helpful suggestions. I solved the
problem by using XPs Restore function.

Mick.
