  But the boot.ini file isn't something that just gets corrupted by random chance...something has to either target the file to edit it or theres been a drive corruption due to physical error or a power blip just as the files been accessed, windows doesn't just decide hmm...todays monday lets do a random f-up of a system file and todays winner is boot.ini

  I have not made any mistakes in re-installing Windows, but if I had to then so be it
