C:\boot.ini but since the system does what I want it to, I'm going<br>
to leave well enough alone. Probably as a side effect of BootMagic,<br>
the master boot drive, which had been I:, is now where it should be,<br>

Did you look in the root directory of all of your drives?
You could also try starting notepad and opening C:\BOOT.INI by actually
