Hi all, just a quickie, ive search MSDN and MS newsgroups to no avail so I 
thought I'd ask the real experts :)

I need to load and read some information from boot.ini but I'm faced with 
the problem of locating it.  I can't seem to find any information on if it 
is always stored on c:\... or if it can reside on other drive letters. 
Also, I can't find if it's possible to have multiple boot.ini files residing 
on a machine.  Finally does anyone know if there is a particular reg key or 
apis that specifics / returns the current boot.ini location for the active 
windows version?

Many thanks in advance,

Mike C
