Well I thought that I can upgrade (fresh-install) Win-XP from the hdd, but I can't and the installer placed extra lines in my boot.ini that makes the bootloader comes up.. This is what I have, and I forgot what I needed to delete in order to make it load again without the bootloader..

Quote:[Boot Loader]
Timeout=5
Default=C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT\BOOTSECT.DAT
[Operating Systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows XP Professional Setup"

hmm... what i have is

Code:

[boot loader]
timeout=5
default=multi(0)disk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

so it means that your should be something like this:

ahh...i see, i think

change

Code:

Default=C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT\BOOTSECT.DAT

to

Code:

 Default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS

that should do it, but back up your boot file, just in case
