About a week ago my computer would not start. I had to reinstall windows.
Since then when I start the computer instead of the normal logon screen I get a black screen that lists two operating systems both of which are the same but only the top one listed will actually work. Is there any way to make the black screen go away and the logon screen to load automatically? [boot loader] timeout=30 default=signature(6ebc6ebc)disk(0)rdisk(0)partitio n(2)\WINDOWS [operating systems] signature(6ebc6ebc)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WIN DOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect signature(55054103)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WIN DOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect OS Name Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600 OS Manufacturer Microsoft Corporation System Name xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx System Manufacturer HP Pavilion 04 System Model P6366A-ABA 520W System Type X86-based PC Processor x86 Family 6 Model 11 Stepping 1 GenuineIntel ~1202 Mhz BIOS Version/Date Award Software, Inc. 3.01, 11/28/2001 SMBIOS Version 2.3 Windows Directory C:\WINDOWS System Directory C:\WINDOWS\system32 Boot Device \Device\HarddiskVolume2 Locale United States Hardware Abstraction Layer Version = "5.1.2600.2180 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)" User Name yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy\Frankie B Time Zone Eastern Standard Time Total Physical Memory 384.00 MB Available Physical Memory 125.20 MB Total Virtual Memory 2.00 GB Available Virtual Memory 1.96 GB Page File Space 923.00 MB Page File C:\pagefile.sys -- Frankie B --- avast!

Yes,
Start, Run, MsConfig, Bootini, Highlight the Lower BootPath, Click CheckAllBootPaths, Apply, OK. It will ask Restart, Don't Restart, Check Restart, You should have a normal boot screen then, this usually happens when a hard drive is set to dual boot, and one OS is removed. Hope it helps. Good Luck, Mick |

Delete the line signature (55... and change the timeout to 0.
