Setting the 3GB Switch

Hi,

I'm looking for the file boot.ini, which can be modified to allow allocation of 3GB.  Where is that file located?

RE: Setting the 3GB Switch

Hi,

The file is normally located on the root C:\ an is hidden. So you must set in the the file options of your explorer the option for hidden files.

Hmm, I can't find it..  Does one need administrator status to see the file?

Thanks,
Pingen

Looked a bit more carefully in the folder options and discovered that I had to ask Windows to show the hidden content AND also, not to hide the same.

I finally found the file.

Regards,
Pingen
