Question: 1 / 525

What has the 'boot.ini' file been replaced with in newer versions of Windows?

MBR

UEFI

BCD

In newer versions of Windows, the 'boot.ini' file has been replaced with BCD (Boot Configuration Data) which is a more advanced file system. Option A, MBR (Master Boot Record) is a small, straightforward file that contains basic partition table information, but doesn't support advanced features like NTFS. Option B, UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) is firmware that is a modern replacement to BIOS, but it does not replace the boot.ini file, so this choice is incorrect. Option D, EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) is an older version of UEFI which doesn't have as many advanced features, so it is not the correct answer. Therefore, the most appropriate and accurate option that describes the replacement of 'boot.ini' in newer versions of Windows is BCD.
