The boot.ini file that disables the boot screen
looks like the following:
[boot loader]
timeout_0
default_multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS_
"Microsoft Windows
XP Professional" /fastdetect /noguiboot
1. On the first line of the file, type in [boot loader].
2. On line 2 of the file, key in timeout_0 so Windows does not show the boot selection
screen at all. You don’t want this anyways because you only have one operating system
installed on your computer.
3. On line 3 of the file, type in default_multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
so that Windows knows where to look on your hard drive to start the operating system.
4. On line 4, type in [operating systems].
5. On line 5, type in multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS_”Microsoft
Windows XP Professional” /fastdetect /noguiboot to start up Windows with the
/noguiboot parameter to disable the boot screen.
6. Click the File menu bar item and select Save As.
7. Type Boot.ini in the File name box and change the Save as type to All Files.
8. Then, change the Save in directory to your drive root, which is usually Local Disk (C:).
9. Click the Save button and you are now finished.
