In this day and age I don't think anyone needs to be as patient as to wait 3-4 min. for a boot up in safe mode or any mode for that matter.

I don't understand why it's asking which XP to boot from you did only install one XP...didn't you ?

My boot loader for XP Home is the same as Blackwar posted , boot loader for XP Pro is the same as piaqt posted and all is fine.

Maybe it's a XP Pro thing....I never have problems with XP Home . yet XP Pro gives me some of the glitches that drives one crzy

Hope it gets fixed
