I reinstalled XP pro on this Dell Dimension 8300 after a drive failure, and
now it won't boot unless the Recovery CD is in the drive.
Boot.ini looks just like the one here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q289022

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional" /fastdetect

Boot is set to Hard drive, and I've tried Fixmbr and Fixboot.
The only drive is a Maxtor 160 GB SATA.
Suggestions appreciated.
