OS selection page automatically comes up after turning on or reboo

[Guest tomcost]

The Operating Systems selection page automatically comes up after turning on

or rebooting PC.

 

I used the Trend Micro utility to go into safe mode and now I can't get my

PC to stop automatically going into the choose OS selection page.

 

Any ideas?

 

Windows XP Home Edition SP3

Hi tomcost,

 

Have a look at the following:

First boot to normal XP, then:

1) control pannel -> system -> pick the advanced-tab.

2) You'll find a section (the latter in my case) that reads: 'Startup

and Recovery'. Open this one by clicking 'settings'.

3) The new window you see holds some information you can tweak.

 

Mine says litterally (inclucing ")

"Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

 

 

boot.ini reads:

 

[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" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

 

A warning, if you play around with that, make sure you don't screw up

too much and make your system unbootable.

You can use this utility to make a reliable backup of your whole system

(I liked it soo much I bought it.)

 

Good luck.

Hello Erwin,

 

I did what you said and found 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 Home

Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Safe mode" /SAFEBOOT:MINIMAL

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Safe mode with network

connection" /SAFEBOOT:NETWORK

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Normal mode" /fastdetect

/NoExecute=OptIn

 

Is there something in these settings that is causing the problem?

It looks like a lot more than what you have.

 

Thanks, Tom
