[QUOTE="chscag, post: 893920, member: 46727"] If your Windows partition is formatted to NTFS you will not be able to do any editing from OS X without a third party driver. (Paragon NTFS) However, if your Windows partition is formatted to FAT-32 you can easily edit the Boot.ini file since it's a simple text file. However, Boot.ini is a system file and is read only. File permissions will have to be changed first. It's probably easier for you to follow the advice Kash gave you. I normally do not recommend that since doing a "repair" confuses most people because of the way Microsoft has it worded. Go to this [URL="http://michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm"]website[/URL] and follow his instructions on how to do a repair. They're fairly easy to follow. Let us know. Regards. [/QUOTE]
