Specifying the boot.ini path and file name
The /inifile switch is common to all operations performed with the /bootini switch.
The /inifile switch lets you specify the full path and file name of the current
Windows 2000/XP boot.ini file. This lets you locate boot.ini if it is not on drive C.
The default value for this switch is C:\boot.ini.
Displaying the list of current boot entries
Use the /bootini switch to display the existing boot menu for the current Windows
2000/XP operating system.
The syntax for this command is as follows:
gdisk32 /bootini [/inifile:filename]
Adding an entry to boot.ini
You can add the following functions to a boot.ini file:
■
Starting another installation of Windows 2000/XP that resides on a different
partition.
■
Starting a non-Windows 2000/XP operating system that resides on a different
partition.
GDisk does not add an entry to boot.ini in the following cases:
■
An entry with the description already exists in Boot.ini (case insensitive).
■
The referenced partition is of type Extended.
■
The referenced partition is hidden.
Table 5-12 describes the function of each switch for both types of entries.
