Restart bypassing Boot screen

October 5, 2007

Here's a new one:

This just started happening. When I restart in Vista 64 the restart process

by passes the OS boot choices screen & goes directly to vista logon

screen.(I have a duel boot system).LOL

If I choose shutdown,then boot it goes to the OS boot choices screen.

If I boot to winxp 64 then re-start it also by passes the OS boot choice

screen & goes directly to the Vista Logon screen. LOL. I have to shut-down

then boot to get the OS boot screen.

How do I fix this? LOL

This system amazes me,everytime I get a problem sorted out, a new one pops

up LOL.

You are the one dual-booting; don't blame Vista!

This may sound not logical but...

Try increasing a few secs the time assigned for the boot menu screen to show

up.

Re: Restart bypassing Boot screen

This sounds logical to me. But since the menu appears on a cold-boot that

means it can be configured in more places than one - each OS might have a

reg. key and the boot option might have it's own internal configuration that

might conflict?

In the BIOS?

(Re-installing the Boot Menu? Remember, I'm not on Vista myself.)

Re: Restart bypassing Boot screen

I would run startup repair. Since both reboots use the bootmgr and BCD,

something has been corrupted.

You could set up another partition (same or different hd) to be the object

of the repair or just run it one the current one and see if it sees the

corruption. If it doesn't see the corruption and the problem persists, I

would move the boot files into a new folder and run boot repair to replace

it on the drive.

Re: Restart bypassing Boot screen

John:

Following your line of thought, EasyBCD or VistabootPro might be useful at

this stage.

They have the option of diagonosing and/or rebuilding Vista bootloader if

necessary.

Re: Restart bypassing Boot screen

Thanks guys for your thoughts as to what's going on.Carlos I am using Vista

Boot Pro version 3.3.I have been using it since it came out.

The funny thing now happening it is occurring on a intermittent basis.I

never know whether the boot choice screen will be there. If I watch closely

I can actually see the screen fly by. When it does it goes directly to Vista

logon.I then can shut down.Booting again brings the OS choices screen back.

Re: Restart bypassing Boot screen

I notice in Msconfig - Boot there is a box you can tick to make boot

settings permanent.

What are the consequences of ticking this box?

Re: Restart bypassing Boot screen

I am running out of ideas down here.

Try John's suggestions (startup repair with Vista DVD) and cross your

fingers (did you try that one? :-))

Re: Restart bypassing Boot screen

Hey problem seems to have corrected itself.Screen is now appearing upon

restart. LOL

Thanks for all the suggestions. Last thing I tried was to change the

"Default" boot Os in Vista Boot Pro & save & then change it back & save. I

don't know whether this corrected it or "Gremlins" LOL.

RE: Restart bypassing Boot screen

Kue2:

You never know. Sometimes unchecking a setting and later on checking it

again fixes a problem.

Two days ago I noticed that I could no access one web site (http://www.start64.com)

that I had been able to access the night before. Nothing had changed while I

was asleep, except for the position of the sun.

The other PC in my home network could access that site with no problems.

How did I solve it?

I disabled IE7 phishing filter, closed IE7, restarted IE7.

I could now access that web site but without the filter being applied.

Aha!, I said. That was the problem what if?

I applied the phishing filter again, NO problems found.

I can now access http://www.start64.com with the phishing filter enabled.

Go figure!
