Go to advanced tab / startup and recovery / settings. Then the top option. Then click on edit. Copy and paste whats in boot.ini here | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 878744 | 2010-04-23 10:04:00 | It maybe this entry multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS.0="Mic rosoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect Since its got WINDOWS.0, the other has WINDOWS. When you reboot, do you get a menu to select either? This is the default boot.ini for XP Pro [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect |

| 878745 | 2010-04-23 11:00:00 | Yeh has a menu to pick what 1 I want to boot. boot the 1 without the .0 on it. | bluezone (12434) | ||
| 878746 | 2010-04-23 11:30:00 | Delete the windows.0 entry in boot.ini go to save as, select all files (under save as) then save it (say yes to overwrite it) then reboot. Then it should boot into XP without the menu | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
