In my system Windows XP Pro. installed. There is no problem and works fine. Recently I saw the boot.ini file through msconfig and also through the editor.
That file contains the following entries,
[boot loader]
timeout=0
default=signature(4b464b45)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
signature(4b464b45)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
But in my friends and office system shows the boot.ini like
[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
I don't understand what is signature(4b464b45)? What that use? Why my boot.ini differ from others. But no problem in booting.
The person who knows about it please reply me.
