I checked this already and it is specified as Hard drive
first, then floppy, then CD-ROM. I can try disabling the
CD-ROM and the third choice and see if that makes a
difference but why would it not boot from my hard drive
when I know I have booted from it sucessfully in the
past. The knowledge base article I saw at one time
described copying two ntkrnl files from the Windows XP CD
into the system directory. This worked for awhile but
then the problem returned.
