Boot.in

  • I made the chnages to the boot.ini file based on

    Server 2003 STD, 4GB RAM SQL 2005

    [boot loader]

    timeout=30

    default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS

    [operating systems]

    multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows Server 2003, Standard" /noexecute=optout /fastdetect /execute /nopae /3GB /Userva=2650

    The boot.ini setting did not apply on reboot. The boot is wrong........?

    :crazy:

    Why have you added these options?

    /execute /nopae /3GB /Userva=2650

    2650 is not even divisible by 4 (or even 8)!!!!!

    Are you using 32 bit or 64 bit edition of Windows 2003?

    These were recommended to improve the performance of the SQL server.

    Ok

    by who?

    I would recommend you change this

    [operating systems]

    multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows Server 2003,

    Standard" /noexecute=optout /fastdetect /execute /nopae /3GB /Userva=2650

    To this

    [operating systems]

    multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows Server 2003,

    Standard" /fastdetect /execute /nopae /3GB

    If you need to tune any further then do so, but I would start with this config personally.

    PAE should be ineffective really as Win 2003 Std 32 bit only supports a max of 4GB RAM anyway
