Default Always enable vga

Edit c:\boot.ini

Mine looks like

[boot loader]
timeout=3D3
default=3Dmulti(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WIND OWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS=3D"Mic rosoft Windows XP =
Professional" /fastdetect /SOS
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS=3D"Win dows Server 2003, =
Enterprise" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS=3D"Mic rosoft Windows XP =
Professional" /fastdetect
C:\CMDCONS\BOOTSECT.DAT=3D"Microsoft Windows Recovery Console" /cmdcons

Change the line so it looks so
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS=3D"Mic rosoft Windows XP =
Professional" /fastdetect /basevideo

I use /sos which shows extra info (though too fast to read) while =
booting. The point here is the adding of /basevideo.
