It's one of the install options? GUI install for noobs and text install for the uber peepol. lol.

yeah, but why would the boot.ini be screwed before I've even got Windows installed?

I've used this disc, and usb_prep8 to install Windows before! D:

edit: well here's the boot.ini

Code:

[boot loader]
timeout=1
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(2)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

My knowledge of the interworkings of Windows is minimal, but it looks fine to me.

also:

Code:

tacticalbread@toothpaste:~$ ls -a /windows
.  ..  boot.ini  NTDETECT.COM  ntldr  PAGEFILE.SYS  WINDOWS
tacticalbread@toothpaste:~$ ls -a /windows/WINDOWS
.                  Driver Cache  L2Schemas           regedit.exe   twain.dll
..                 ehome         Media               repair        twunk_16.exe
addins             explorer.exe  msagent             Resources     twunk_32.exe
AppPatch           explorer.scf  msapps              security      vmmreg32.dll

_default.pif       java          Provisioning        twain_32.dll
tacticalbread@toothpaste:~$

Looks normal for a not-yet-installed Windows to me.
