[kraigh98]

hiya folks..i have a dual boot system on my pc both of which are Windows XP OS .. ones my everyday use ones for gaming .. less resources when gaming .. anyway i got a virus onces and ever since then my dual boot did have the standard 30 seconds to choose now i only get 1 second to choose.. is there a way i can revert the option to 30 seconds again.. sometimes i just aint quick enough to arrow down and enter to get to my gaming partition..

thanx in advance to any help offered

Open msconfig then go to boot then down on the right it says timeout you can adjust the seconds there

Yes. Go to advanced system settings (Win key + Pause) and go to the Advanced tab. Go to startup and recovery and hit settings. The rest is self-explanatory.
