every time I boot up there is a black screen asking if I
want Windows XP profession or windows. Then I have around
25 seconds before it boots to XP or another black screen
says start windows normally or pick one fo about 5
options after a count down it boots to xp. Somtimes it
can take about 10 minutes to do the normal thing.
 
Hi,

Start/run msconfig, go to the boot.ini tab. Select the line that loads your
normal startup, click "set as default" if it is not already. Then click the
option to "check all boot paths", it should offer to remove any invalid
ones. Click apply/ok and close.

Start/run C:\boot.ini

Change the timeout= line to 3, click file/exit and "yes" to save changes.
That should do it.
