No, not normal. You can get rid of it from Control
Panel, System, and the
Advanced tab. Choose Startup and Recovery. You'll see
two choices for the
default OS and options to choose to boot to one or the
other. Change these
settings so that you only have the one choice, or set XP
to be the default
and set the time to 0 seconds to choose.

When I start up, I get a "dos looking" screen that asks
me whether I want to boot from windows xp, or windows.
Then gives me 20 seconds to decide. Is this normal and
or
necessary? Can I get rid of it?

Thanks,
Jeff
