What are the boot files in Windows 7?

The four boot files for Windows 7 and Vista are: bootmgr: Operating system loader code; similar to ntldr in previous versions of Windows. Boot Configuration Database (BCD): Builds the operating system selection menu; similar to boot. ini in Windows XP, but data resides in the BCD store.

Where can I find the boot file?

The Boot. ini file is a text file that contains the boot options for computers with BIOS firmware running NT-based operating system prior to Windows Vista. It is located at the root of the system partition, typically c:Boot.
