In the root directory: C:\.

Make sure you have the option "Display hidden folders and files" selected.

You probably already knew this also but the CD is bootable.

boot.ini is a protected system file. to access it open explorer\tools\folder options\view.


check "show hidden files and folders" and clear "Hide protected operating system files (Recomended)"

You will then be able to copy it to your boot disk.

As you know I`m sure you will need to copy the NTLDR, NTDETECT and boot.ini.
