So I'm trying to install mac natively on my home box after I realised it runs like a snail on vmware. Anyway I need to locate the boot.ini on my machine to add an entry but I can't find it. The original configuration of this box was triple booting windows 7, windows server 2008 r2 and redhat Linux. There are 2 physical hard drives and all those 3 were partitioned onto the primary disk with approximate 80gb each. The mac is on the partition that the Linux was originally in. I've looked for boot.ini I'm both windows os' under their system drive c:/ and can't find them. I don't know whether the Linux grub screwed up the boot options or what but regardless of that it seems to be booting the windows normally for the time being. So yep.. any help on locating this elusive boot.ini would be much appreciated..

boot.ini, would mean windows xp right? vista and 7 bootloader don't use that so. If it is xp, its hidden on the c root. If not xp, you need to edit the boot loader or get a 3rd paty program to boot it. The boot.ini should be invisible though. You HAVE to have it for xp to boot obviously so it must be there.

Thinking about mac osx, on mid end pc hardware. Might possibly be the most fierce mac, EVER.

Okay.. I think hero's hit the nail on the head. Do you have any idea on an alternative to adding an entry to boot.ini ? Looks like the tutorial I am using is outdated..
