I am performing a new Windows XP Professional installation on a Hitachi
microdrive attached to a Tyan motherboard. The installation proceeds
smoothly until the first reboot to continue the installation. At that point
I get the error, "Invalid BOOT.INI file. Booting from C:\WINDOWS\" The
system performs a warm boot and starts the process all over again. It will
continue rebooting until I stop it.

I followed the steps in Knowledgebase Article #330184 and used the BOOTCFG
/REBUILD tool to fix the BOOT.INI file. This did not fix the problem.

The BOOT.INI file is located in the root C:\ directory and appears ok. It
contains:

[boot loader]
timeout=1
default=multi<0>disk<0>rdisk<0>partition<1>\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi<0>disk<0>rdisk<0>partition<1>\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP
Professional" /fastdetect

Any suggestions?
