attrib -s -h -r c:\boot.ini

attrib +s c:\boot.ini

notepad c:\boot.ini

see where it says multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS1="..."?

well copy that line right below itself, removing the 1

then when you start up, choose the second 'Windows XP'

RE: Isue with computer...........
if you manage to start to your old windows fine, you may as well delete the new install (c:\windows) and rename the old one (windows.bak) back to "Windows"

then, just change boot.ini accordingly :)
