I have never tried leaving out a space when it was deemed &quot;required&quot; in the syntax to separate switches. &nbsp;But, you do have /fastdetect in the syntax line twice.<br />

This is the link on the /3GB switch.<br />

Good Reading on /3GB and errors it can cause:<br />

If you introduce switches without a space in the boot.ini file (see /fastdetect/3GB in the exampe below) will the switches be recognised during the boot process on Windows Server 2003?<br />

Correct formatting on BOOT.INI file

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
