RE: how to get rid of opening XP without DOS-Modus countdown

in your root dir is a file called boot.ini (typically hidden) which controls what is displayed and how long

so check c:\boot.ini

or use Start --> Run --> msconfig

to edit this file

my boot.ini look like this

Code:
[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 Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /usepmtimer


please note that the parameters can be different on your sysem but in general it should look like this

how to get rid of opening XP without DOS-Modus countdown

While checking c:\boot.ini file, I found the following entry:
[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 Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
C:\="Microsoft Windows"

Now can i remove this entry in this boot loader file. Will it resolve the issue then?

Thanks and nice to hear your advise.

is your windows installed in
c:\windows
or
c:\Microsoft Windows
?

if c:\windows
use msconfig to select and remove the last line (if possible)
