Can you do a copy in Notepad as to what it says when you hit Edit?

sorry wolf ut I don't undestand what I have to do.
could you please be more specific??
thanks
thomas

Its when you hit edit on the Startup & recovery Window thomas.

I might be dum but here there is not an "edit "button.
what should I do??

Do you see the screenshot you posted Thomas?
Where the 30 second timeout thing is there is an Edit button, this allows you to manually edit the settings.
You should see a thing that looks like this:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect

I am very sorry Wolf,it was there,I was probably sleeping.


[boot loader]
timeout=10
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptOut /noguiboot
