The WinXP Boot Manager consists of two files that one should copy to the root of the Windows 2000 boot-partition:
- NTLDR (NT Loader)
- Switches to 32-bit memory
- Starts mini-file system
- Reads BOOT.INI and present selection
- Starts NTDETECT
- Starts NTOSKRNL
- Loads Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL), registry hives and drivers
- NTDETECT
- Scans hardware
- Returns hardware list back to NTLDR
what are the directions for applying this?
Besides making a backup, then just extract the files into the root of your system drive overwritting the existing files.
Hello
For some reason prior to the install of the Bootfiles I un checked the box "hide protected operating system files", when i checked the box to hide them after the install, the ntldr is still shown and the others.
I also tried doing it thru properties on each and selected hidden there but all that did was make it less vivid.
Do you know how to make them hidden again
Thanks
Tuco
Have you tried to set the file attributes to Hidden ? (Right-click the file and mark the checkbox labelled hidden on the General-fan)
