hello,
can you help me or advise me if i am doing the right thing...i edited the boot.ini in msconfig,in order to boot faster that's what i know.. i change the timeout=30 to timeout=0
am i doing safe?please help me hoping for your positive responds...thank you in advance
Jemz, if you only have one OS in the boot.ini file, ie no choice, then it makes no difference at all - you could leave it at 30secs or 0 secs, but ntldr will ignore that timeout value and just proceed immediately to load the OS. A window showing the default OS will not appear.
If you have more than one OS then you leave no time to make a choice... and it is likely that the window showing the OS list would not have time to appear, anyway. I have two OSs installed, and 4secs is plenty of time to make a choice if I so wish, else after 4secs the default OS loads anyway.
Clear? :)
