At start-up or reboot always seeing Invalid boot.ini on screen
The boot file is misplaced in your PC. to solve the problem boot it from an OS installation disk. then when you get the phase of installing there will be an option called "repair your computer". click on it and follow the instructions..(takes under 5 minutes) also use startup check to remove common errors..i can give you an accurate description if you post the correct OS i can give more accurate steps.
SOURCE: booting error
What I would do is take the hard drive (1) out of that machine and put into an another pc - xp would be fine. Now go to the root of harddrive (1) and edit the boot.ini file. you will see an entry similar to this ......
[boot loader]
timeout=30
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
All you need to do is make sure you know which disk you're using (c drive is 0 usually) and the partition should be set to 1 for regular installations.
Did you add any drives lately? or make any changes to your OS?

SOURCE: BOOT.INI deleted. How to re-create this file?
Hi,
That's not a virus. Boot.ini is a default file needed for Windows OS to boot.
Fortunately, you can recreate the boot.ini files
This is a sample of the above Boot.ini file with a previous installation of Windows 2000 on a separate partition.
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
Simple way to add operating system on a separate partition:
At the command prompt, type:
bootcfg /copy /d Operating System Description /ID#
Where Operating System Description is a text description (e.g. Windows XP Home Edition), and where # specifies the boot entry ID in the operating systems section of the BOOT.INI file from which the copy has to be made.
Please rate this if you found this answer helpful. :)
SOURCE: Hello, I have 2 Operating
Solution:
i) I understand what ru trying to say, I'm afraid that iam not providing u with the right solution, however would try my level best:
a boot.ini file contains this text for Windows XP;
[boot loader]
timeout=30
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" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
so i want u type this text exactly in an note pad and save it as boot.ini and copy it from where you detled it.....hope so it works....
try making some changes to it(so that it will be Microsoft Windows 2003 server.....as it is the text for Microsfot Windows XP Professional)
note(imp): here "noexecute=optin /fastdetect " comes next to the "Microsoft Windows XP Professsional" which is above it....
(OR)
when logon into Windows XP go to start button----->Click on Run------>type msconfig in text box----->
highlight BOOT.ini, you will see the above text ......
