enable boot.ini

Comment:

I have loaded DOS onto a fresh HD and want to enable the boot.ini file. I've copied into the root of C:\ and it doesn't appear to do anything... Can someone tell me how to make it use boot.ini?

Not in DOS - that's a Windows NT type of file - best ask in the appropriate Windows forum Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
