Restart your computer and boot same with a boot disk.C:edit boot.ini,You will access BOOT.INI. As default, it will appear as below:
[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 Professionnel" /fastdetect,if you do not want to repeat several times Boot.ini, copy the line after [operating systems] and change the number at each time. You will now have an option in the menu that will enable you to access safe mode without having to press F8 at start up.

This behavior can occur if any or some of the following conditions are true:

• The Default value in the [Boot Loader] section of the Boot.ini file is missing or invalid.
• Windows XP is not installed in the location specified in the Boot.ini file.
• The Ntoskrnl.exe file is missing or damaged.
• The partition path in the Boot.ini file is not set correctly.
• General hardware failure.
