Reboot computer doesn't follow thru

When I reboot my computer and do not press the F10 I will go to a dos prompt
with just the curser flashing. When I press F10, I then have to pick a
boot source, from hard drive, from disc etc. Then after choosing from hard
drive(which is the only option that works) it takes forever for all my
settings to load (aprox 10 min) just stare at a blank screen. What could be
causing this???

I do not think that this comes from Windows. It seems like if there is
some kind of boot manager active or the BIOS does this because you
have/had more than one OS's installed.
