I got my problem of yesterday fixed - thanks to those who replied. I am
left with a slightly different, "no-real-problem" but it's an annoyance.
I wonder if there is a quick fix for it:

Now when my wife boots her computer, boot stops in a DOS page that says
"Select the operating system you wish to start". There are two choices:
Windows XP or Windows XP (?) Pressing "Enter" continues boot
immediately, or it continues itself in 30 seconds, so as I said, it's
not a big problem, just an annoyance. But is there a way to eliminate
that "DOS stop"?
