startup problem, this entry is normal?

Hi, I have a few annoying problems when I start my pc, I still get startup entries and I can't seem to find a way to get rid of them.
Ive tried to install Windows xp on another partition but I failed and now whenever I start my pc I get this entry at startup: "Installation of Microsoft Windows XP. If I don't do anything the pc will try to install windows xp, and I don't want that. I want to delete the startup entry.
I did a little research and I found out that I need to change the boot.ini file, but it has only one entrance of operating system on it. :
[boot loader]
Timeout = 3
default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (1) partition (3) \WINDOWS
[operating systems]
"multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (1) partition (3) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

Ive also tried msconfig - boot.ini - check all boot paths, but it says:
"" It seems that the next line in the boot.ini file does not refer to a valid operating system: multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (1) partition (3) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect" you want to remove from the boot.ini file? " "  .

And when I click on "Yes" Msconfig closed suddenly, no error message, no confirmation, no nothing.
Can you please help me understand this and remove "install windows xp" startup screen?
The operating system that the use of im at the moment (and I want to continue to use) is windows xp sp3 and its installed in the C: partition
Any help will be greatly apreciated! :)

Anyway, if I create a key USB bootable with the recovery console Xp can I keep the files that are already in my pc from this error "ntldr is missing"?
Thank you very much for your help!

Use a different USB key.  They are pretty cheap.

When you follow the directions to put the recovery on a USB Console, it must understand that to put a copy of ntldr on the key... but I would like to keep the one you have without changes, just in case.

  • Startup problem; XP continuously restarts. Can not read files

    I have a problem starting with a computer that running Windows XP SP1a upgrade to SP3. It belongs to another Member of my family, which has switched off the power when a BOUNCING mouse problem has prevented the normal shutdown procedure.  At startup, it shows the screen boot options that if I choose "Safe Mode" or "Start Windows normally" it loads normally to the point where it shows the screen of flying windows for a while, becomes empty briefly, then restarts.

    I tried to leave, he in Repair Mode using the Windows Setup disc in the hope to repair the startup files, but have problems to read the files on the C; drive. If I try to look at the records, or change to a different folder, I get the error messages like "invalid drive specification" or "an error occurred during directory enumeration" I guess that's because the XP SP1a installation disc which I use can not handle the 80 GB hard drive and the NTFS file format.

    Is it possible I can get access to the boot files

    OldZ80

    I solved the problem

    After the announcement of this question, I ran CHKDSK from the repair mode and it corrects an error in the file system, and I was able to start Windows.  As a precaution, I have since set a system restore to a few days point more earlier than when the problem occurred, and all goes well now.

    When you got your system back as you, I invite you to buy an external hard drive, and a good backup 3rd party program. You can configure it to automatically do everything in time and frequency of your choice. 1 TB external hard disks around $ 70 these days and a very good FREE backup program corresponds to the Easeus todo backup free of charge that you can download from

    http://www.todo-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm . Who can make you save a lot of time and frustration, the next time something like this happens. Sooner or later, it happens to all computers for one reason or another.

It was supposed to be fixed once by the bu retailer still, there are questions. The biggest problem is starting:-it freezes, error messages that say lag not found drivers or disk not detected though when checked is.

NOT HAPPY because for the third day, we bought there have been problems and we haven't bought a computer to sit in a workshop constantly, not at the price we paid coupled with the monthly fee for whatr amounts to nothing. Is there something we can do to solve this problem without driving miles and being without a computer that actually, we bought to USE?
