Hi guys,

thanks for the replies, sorry if I haven't made my self very clear...

I know how to programmable search for a file and how to get the logical 
drives that are available.  What I was primarily wondering was if there was 
an api like GetSystemDirectory() that I could use to locate the ware abouts 
of boot.ini.  As has been pointed out here, boot.ini does not always exists 
and it is a hidden file, but it also does not HAVE to exist on c: either. 
Depending on how this system was set up, it may appear in other drives and I 
believe that it is possible to have more than one boot.ini on the system.  I 
need to check this file for just that reason i.e. to see if there are any 
other, working OS's installed.

I know that I can recurs through each drive and find this file but I wanted 
to know if there was any other method.

Particular thanks to Nate for that purl...
