My wifes laptop was doing the exact same thing only she has one HHD with one version of WinXP Home installed. So I thought maybe I will try that removing of the line but there was only one line under operating system. Now it will not boot at all. Any ideas how to get that line back in the boot.ini file? I did not make a boot disk for it before this happened and I thought since I have the Windows disk I can do a recover but I have no idea how to do that. When I pick the recover option it just gives me c:\windows. I thought it would actually recover windows but nothing. She is so pissed at me. I might have to sleep downstairs if I can't get this fixed soon.
