not 100 % sure what that is actually, as long as it boots into XP I'm sure it's ok, could be that accidently a 2nd install of XP has been made ??

I havent installed a 2nd XP as far as I am aware.Thanks you for all your help.

without knowing exactly what the message is , not really

it will be an annoyance but will not affect the running of the PC

Right...I've tried to catch it and there is more to the message that this....but it gives you the option of starting up...Windows XP Home Edition orWindows Recovery Console....There is other writing but it only flashes up for about 1 second and I dont have to press any keys and XP loads up fine and there seem no other problems on the pc.....any ideas??

To Delete the Recovery Console

Open My Computer.

Double-click the hard drive on which you installed the Recovery Console.

On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.

Click the View tab.

Click Show hidden files and folders, clear the Hide protected operating system files check box, and then click OK.

At the root directory, delete the \Cmdcons folder.

At the root directory, delete the file Cmldr.

At the root directory, right-click the Boot.ini file and then click Properties.

Clear the Read-only check box, and then click OK.

Open Boot.ini in Notepad, and remove the entry for the Recovery Console. It will look similar to this:

C:\cmdcons\bootsect.dat="Microsoft Windows Recovery Console" /cmdcons

Save the file and close it.

Modifying the Boot.ini file incorrectly may prevent your computer from restarting. Be sure to delete only the entry for the Recovery Console.

Notes:

To open My Computer, double-click the My Computer icon on the desktop.
It is recommended that you change the attribute for the Boot.ini file back to read-only after you complete this procedure. You may also want to hide your system files again.
