  1. Boot.ini


    Hi,

    I have the following :
    1) a HDD with
    • Windows10_64-bit
    • Windows10_32-bit
    • A number of logical partitions
    2) a SSD on which I cloned the HDD/Windows10_32-bit
    3) a bootmanager which allows me to select which partition to boot.

    Booting from the SSD/Windows10_32-bit doesn't work !

    If I leave the HDD/Windows10_32-bit as bootable, and boot from SSD, actually HDD/Windows10_32-bit is launched
    If I set HDD/Windows10_32-bit as NOT-bootable, and boot from SSD, Windows10 is looping for ever on the Windows10 logo.

    In Windows XP this indicated a wrong HDD/partition reference in boot.ini, which could be edited from within another OS to solve that problem.

    How can I solve this on the SSD/Windows10_32-bit ? There is no longer a boot.ini and I can't boot into the SSD/Windows10_32-bit

    FYI: HDD/Windows10_32-bit remains needed too !!!

    :)

    Snippet C#: INI Files

    This code is great, i'm going to use this in one of my programmes *Big Grin Boot.ini :D

    is it possible to make a list of all sections in the ini files?

  3. Snippet C#: INI Files

    GetSections() will return a string[] of section names. If you want the values too, just do a for or for loop to enumerate them. For example:

    Code: foreach (string section in ini.GetSections()) { Console.WriteLine("[" + section + "]"); foreach (string key in ini[section].GetKeys()) Console.WriteLine(key + "=" + ini[section][key]); Console.WriteLine(); }[/quote]

  4. Boot.ini

    boot ini change

    What is the best/safest way to make changes to your boot ini file? The reason I ask is Windows Hardware Dev Center

    I would really love to run use 4 gigs of ram without having to upgrade(give another $100 to microshaft) to a 64 bit OS
