Windows XP Boot issue?

When I first start my computer it goes to a dual boot type screen. The default setting is set at start up disk(I don't have Cd in the drive). The second boot is for normal WIndows XP. My computer will run fine if I click the Windows XP boot option. But it is really annoying I have to sit in front of computer and select the option when it comes up otherwise it goes to setup(cd) and blue screen. Can I change that boot selections some how??I want the default to be WIndows XP.

Go to your BIOS settings hitting the f2 key repeatedly before Windows boots. You'll see a text screen look for ';boot sequence'; or ';boot order'; and make the boot order 1. Hard drive 2. CD/DVD 3. Floppy. Then hit the designated key that will ';Save and Exit';. If it doesn't boot to windows right away, hit the reset button on the front of the computer.Windows XP Boot issue?
When your computer is starting up, tap F12. Once you get into the Boot Menu, go to the option ';Boot Sequence'; or something like that. You can change your boot sequence to start with the hard drive and it will automatically scan the hard drive for an OS (operating system) first, if it finds nothing, then it will scan the other places ex. your cd rom disk drive.
You can change your boot sequence in the file c:\boot.ini



You can edit this file with notepad.
go to

start

control panel

system

hit the tab thats reads ';advanced';

on startup and recovery click on settings

click on edit startup options file manually

something like this is going pop up



[boot loader]

timeout=20

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partiti?br>
[operating systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WI?Windows XP Professional'; /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WI?Windows 2000 Professional'; /FASTDETECT



just switch the order

for example

[boot loader]

timeout=20

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partiti?br>
[operating systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WI?Windows 2000 Professional'; /FASTDETECT

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WI?Windows XP Professional'; /noexecute=optin /fastdetect



then save and you are done.
