Thank for trying to help Brian, I have followed the link given and tried to
do as told down to making a backup folder of the note and named it temp, the
information i see is ..[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home
Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

this is not the same as shown on the information link but I have xp home and
not professional .

is there something I should change in that text ?? sorry to ask you so much
but as a complete amatuer I just follow instructions. many thanks Gerald

Check the BIOS for the drive detection boot order and change it to the proper boot
order if necessary.

Your boot.ini may have the wrong parameters set.
