My computer wouldn't boot up from XP SP3 after I tried to reboot. I used UBCD to go into the Recovery Console. I deleted boot.ini, confirmed the file was gone by "type boot.ini", and fixed the boot sector by "bootcfg /reload" and "fixboot".

My computer booted up. However, my new boot.ini isn't a completely new boot.ini. Instead, it is simply the old boot.ini with a new line with the newly added boot parameters.

I don't have a boot.bak. How was the old boot.ini recovered? Could this be malware activity?

Thanks.
