The problem does not seem to be with "boot.ini". It only provides for booting into 
XP or Recovery Console. The problem is that two option screens appear on the monitor 
during boot-up. The first screen asks if I want to boot into XP or Recovery Console 
and has a 20 second timeout. When I select XP, a second screen appears and asks the 
same thing, only this one has a 5 second timeout, just like the timeout in boot.ini. 
I'm trying to figure out where the first screen comes from and how to get rid of 
it.
