# On the Advanced tab, under Startup and Recovery, click Settings.
# In the Startup and Recovery dialog box, under System startup, click Edit. The Windows boot.ini file will be opened in Microsoft® Notepad.
# Create a backup copy of the boot.ini file. Note: Boot.ini files may vary from computer to computer.
# Select the following line in the boot.ini file:
<pre>
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
</pre>

# Press Ctrl+C to copy the line and then press Ctrl+V to paste it immediately below the original line.

</pre>

Note: Do not overwrite any existing lines.


# Save and close the boot.ini file.
# Click OK to close each dialog box.
# Restart your computer.
# During startup, select the 3GB option. If you do not select the 3GB option, the system will default to the 2GB total memory setting.
