This sometimes works :- Start, Run, type regedit and navigate to registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig In the right pane delete the value BOOT.INI (if it’s there).

Boot.ini tab is missing in MSCONFIG? When you start MSCONFIG.exe (System Configuration utility), the BOOT.INI tab which usually appears, may be missing. This may simply be a file permissions issue. You can verify that by typing C:\Boot.ini in Start, Run dialog. If you get Access Denied or similar error, that explains the problem. Here is another obscure possibility: Open Regedit and navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig Backup the key by exporting it to a REG file In the right-pane, delete the value named Boot.ini (if found) Close Registry Editor and open MSCONFIG.
