Reply: Check the boot file. My Computer(right-clk)-> Advanced(tab)-> Startup and Recovery(settings button). Press edit, it should look something like: [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 If that's not significantly erroneous there may be a detection problem. You may consider using "bootcfg" using the recovery console to rebuild the boot record and its associations. Check my other post...it has bad reasoning but good form:

The C:\boot.ini file can not be opened. Operating and timeout sessions can not be changed.
