Reboot choices

[Galen]

In Yoly <[email protected]> had this to say:

My reply is at the bottom of your sent message:

For some reason when I reboot, I get a choice of which operating
system to boot to. Although I have dabbled with Partition Magic and
Boot Magic, I dont think that I changed anything to make it do that.
I also have a slave drive for storage, but no dual boot system.

It gives me a choice to go into advanced setup choices if I push F8,
but asking for it to go into windows normally doesnt change anything
either.
I will appreciate any insight, thank you.

Edit your boot.ini (hidden on the C: drive normally) so that it looks like
this sort of. (In other words edit it for your tastes/requirements.)

[boot loader]
timeout=5
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 /NoExecute=OptIn

Look for a hidden file on your C: drive, not in any folder... Just right
there on C: C:\boot.ini is the most common location.
