Have you thought about visiting www.bootdisk.com as this has helped me out
on many occasions when my pc has gone ti*s up.

Hope this brings you help

Hi Porfirio,

The boot.ini file depends on the characteristics of the hard drive of
the computer, so I doubt just any boot.ini file could help.

You can download a set of floppy disks from Microsoft though,

Always keep antivirus and spy removal applications (links on the bottom of the page) up-to-date, and scan regularly.

You won't be able to install the OS without a working CD Drive,
you know.
