How to log files accessed?

Before starting Windows XP, pressed F8, Enable Boot logging. After booting could not find the log file. Seached entire system for boot.* and found nothing, I know there is a file E:\boot.ini. What did I do wrong?

You have to unhide all the system files before something like boot.ini will show up in a search.
In Explorer go to Tools->Folder Options->View and untick "hide protected operating system files"
The boot log in Windows 2000 would be at c:\windows\ntbtlog.txt so that could be a good place to look.
