Windows XP Boot up delay fix, dual boot to Windows. How ...

[WolfSentry]

So guys, heres my problem, i have 2 separate disks, one has XP , and i instaled Windows 7 in the second, i was expecting the DUAL boot screen, so i could select XP for work, and windows 7 for gaming. but it boots directly to XP and 7 is nowhere to be found. what can i do??

@WolfSentry

Try the F8 Key on boot- this may give yo and option to boot form the drive you want.

BIOS change may do it, "Boot sequence" more pemament though, would need to change back.

There are Boot Menu freeware programs on the web which may be better.

As XxDARKKROWNxX says :)

great video thanks it helped me out alot

[XxDARKKROWNxX]

i press windows xp professional and all i get when its finished is the background, and nothing else, no start bar at all, absolutely nothing there

[Films4You]

@XxDARKKROWNxX Try Pressing F8, (could be a different F key so you may have to try them in turn), key while the computer boots-up, select safe-mode... This may take some time to load completely, may be 15 minutes. If this loads, just try a re-boot as normal.

[XxDARKKROWNxX]

@Films4You all i get is a black screen

[Films4You]

@XxDARKKROWNxX It Safe Mode does not work then you may need to reinstall Windows, or try a repair windows option

[XxDARKKROWNxX]

@Films4You how do i get the repair windows opition??

[Films4You]

@XxDARKKROWNxX You need the Windows XP install disk

[Films4You]

@XxDARKKROWNxX Try the Computer Resore Disk OR it may be a BIOS issue OR Hard Drive connection, OR bad harddrive

@XxDARKKROWNxX Try Pressing F8, (could be a different F key so you may have to try them in turn), key while the computer boots-up, select safe-mode... This may take some time to load completely, may be 15 minutes. If this loads, just try a re-boot as normal

Good Video..Very much appreciated!

[jam18326]

jez you explain the very long way to get to the bootloader, why not just tell them to go to Control panel -->System-->Advance-->Under the "Startup and recovery click settings.

[Films4You]

Please someone, HELP ME

[Films4You]

Have you tried to boot-up in Safe Mode? Useually hold F8 key during boot up select Safe Mode>>> This mat take some time ans appear to pause but just wait and wat, 5 minutes. If Tthis works just shut down as normal... The try re-booting as normal..

[Superesky]

Yes, but no luck. the computer still stuck in the xp boot screen forever. Other Ideas?

msconfig only allows 3 seconds at the lowest so far as I know, so using msconfig you would still see the delay for 3 seconds...

Thanks any way :)

Not when you go to control panel/system/advanced/Start up and Recovery.

It's much safer to teach beginners to do it that way, instead of telling them to edit important system files, because it often needs one mistake and they are screwed and they then need a an experienced user to clean up their mess.

[joeyfree88]

this is a good way but it takes a bit of time...may I suggest...click start...click run...enter msconfig...click boot.ini...and change the timeout...and done.
