XP boot timer=> set, but does nothing?
- by mark
My PC has XP Pro and the boot.ini file looks like this:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\windows
[operating systems]
C:\CMDCONS\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows Recovery Console" /cmdcons
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\windows="eXPee Pro" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
Up until about a week ago it would just time-out and boot normally.
I haven't made any hardware changes at all.
Now, when the system boots it just sits there and waits for me to hit -enter-.
I've searched all over for explanations & possible causes, but found nothing which seems to relate.
Anyone here have any idea what may have caused the timer to simply quit working like that ?
(BTW, the system clock works just as it ever did and keeps time precisely.)
Thanks.
