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

This is a discussion about how to get rid of opening XP without DOS-Modus countdown in the Everything Windows category; I'm wondering if I'm the only one that noticed it says this card has 256MB of DDR-II RAM. Unless I'm mistaken, I don't recall nVidia stating there would be a 256MB version of this card, at least not yet.

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
[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

OP
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)
