Question by Gorgola M: How can I make Windows self-boot?
Honestly, I have no idea what I did but all the time, when I boot my computer, I get this screen making me choose whether I want “Windows XP Home Edition” or “Windows Recovery Center”.
I know I had this recovery center thing there but just recently it gave me this choice every time I turn on my computer. I want my computer just go straight into Windows Home Edition.
Help? Thanks.

Look in the C:\boot.ini file and delete any line with “recovery” in it. The normal file should look like this:
[boot_loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0) rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0) partition(1)\WINDOWS= “Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition”_/noexecute=optin /fastdetect
Note: I replaced all the spaces in the lines above with underlines, and some of the lines may be wrapped in this display.) Hope this helps…
