How to Edit Boot.ini on Windows XP

Anonymous said…
First, thanks to you. It works fine for me, installed successfully. However, now every time I turn on my computer, it has two options to select in order to continue:
1. Start with window xp
2. USB repair ....
How can I get rid of that, so every time I turn on the computer I don't have to press enter.
(Install XP from USB Flash Disk)

After installing Windows XP using a USB flash drive (Komku-SP-USB) in some cases this message will appear when you turn on your computer:


Please follow these steps to get rid of those messages:

Step 1:
Open Command Prompt.... Start > Run.. > type cmd > press Enter


Step 2:
Type cd\ and press Enter


Step 3:
Type start notepad.exe boot.ini and press Enter

Step 4:
A notepad window will appear, and then change timeout=30 to timeout=0



Step 5:
Save it, now you can close notepad, restart your computer.

Yes.. It's just that simple...
So, what's the difference between editing boot.ini using notepad and msconfig utility ?
On msconfig, it is impossible to set the timeout to 0.
