im having a problem with boot.ini... the error says:

Invalid Boot.ini
Booting from c:\windows\

this is really invalid i guess.... unfortunately i accidentally installed
windows XP on my DRIVE C: and D: Window XP on drive D was first installed then the windows XP on drive C:.... everytime i turn on the PC the windows on drive D is used..... i want to use the windows XP on drive C and uninstall thewindows XP on drive D.... but i dnt know how??
pls help me....

oh! i also noticed that my CD-ROM drive cannot open any Files.
it always prompt me to the error no disk inserted on drive f: or
0(zero) bytes found but there is a disc on it (not a blank disc)...
the CD-Rom is detected in start-up
as secondary slave... my primary slave is a cd writer...

-----00000-----00000----0000--0000-0000-0000-

I hope u can help me again on the problems i am experiencing on
my other PC.... it is running on windows 98 OS... same as above...
the drive f: cannot read files ... but it can write on CD (because
it is a CD writer this time)... even the files that was writen by
itself cannot be read....i must use drive D (CD-ROm) to read files...



it has 2 HD (drive c and d) both drives can be detected at start up...
but only drive c appear on MY COMPUTER.. i dont know what to do..???

another thing ...when i go to display properties... color quality is
up to 16 bit and screen resolution can only be set at the lowest...
.... THANKS A LOT 4 your help in advance

actually, I think that error message is telling you the opposite...it seems to be running the c: windows...

If you could post your boot.ini file here, it would be helpful (in c:\)

As for the cd-rom....in both cases, go to device manager, select the cd-rom drives and delete/uninstall them, then reboot.

windows will reinstall on startup
