[operating systems]
C:\CMDCONS\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows Recovery
Console" /cmdcons

i was receiving the message

INVALID BOOT.INI FILE
BOOTING FROM C:/WINDOWS

afterwards i installed win xp recovery onto my computer
and now i have this in my boot file. the default os is
now set to "Microsoft Windows Recovery Console"/cmdcons.

after shutting down my computer and restarting it, i am
receiving a message asking which OS i wish to load -
Windows(default) or Microsoft Recovery Console. how do i
stop this menu from coming up?

also, the items under all programs in my start menu
have "shifted" to the right in a sense that i can no
longer see part of the items' names. i have not altered
my monitor's dimension size nor do i wish too. i am
unsure if the two incidents are linked and have not
encountered any other problems YET. could someone please
advise me on the situation and clear up any confusion on
the current matter at hand.

Not sure if this will help but...

My boot.ini file is very simple. I have a single copy of WinXP Pro on my PC
in the C: partion....

A word of caution though.... Mess with this file at your own risk - you may
stop your computer booting!
