I have a computer with XP pro installed on it. When I turned it on the other DAY right after the POST test it just has a blinking cursor in the top left side of screen. I looked through some of the other post in the forums and tried what I found to try to fix the PROBLEM. I put in my XP CD and reset the computer. It said to press any key to boot from cd, I was doing something else and didn't hit a key and the computer booted correctly into Windows. I tried to boot NORMALLY again, and it was the blinking cursor. I put the windows cd in again and this time I hit the key to boot from cd. I went into the recovery console and can chkdsk /r and chkdsk /r /f and everything was ok with both. I ram fixmbr and it still boots to the blinking cursor. But it will keep booting correctly if the windows cd is in and I don't hit a key to boot from the cd. What do I need to do to get it to boot normally without the cd in the DRIVE? Thanks.

ChrisI forgot to put that I also went into the boot options and selected last known good configuration and that didn't change anything. I also went into disk management and it showed a healthy hard drive with no problems.Try Windows repair: http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm
