How do you...?

ok i have an external hardrive and want to boot the recovery partition off of it so how do i change the boot.ini so i can boot from the external hardrive





[boot loader]


timeout=3


default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partiti鈥?br>

[operating systems]


multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WI鈥?XP Media Center Edition%26quot; /noexecute=optin /fastdetect


C:\CMDCONS\BOOTSECT.DAT=%26quot;Microsoft Windows Recovery Console%26quot; /cmdcons








this is my boot.ini|||It depends on how your external partition is mounted.





However, you should just go into BIOS settings and try to get it to boot from USB there, rather than editing boot.ini|||you might just try going into bios and change the order of the boot devices (make your external hard drive first)
