Hi Chris,

Your boot.ini file probably looks something like this:

[boot loader]
Timeout = 30
Default=C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT\BOOTSECT.DAT
[Operating Systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional" /fastdetect
C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows XP Professional Setup"

Edit the boot.ini file to set the Default= line to be
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS and delete the
C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows XP Professional Setup" line
that is beneath [Operating Systems]. The boot.ini file should now look
something like this:

[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
Professional" /fastdetect

Save the file and exit. Now restart.

Regards,
