| Hi, I have a computer with two partitions on a windows xp and the other windows 8 the problem happens when I turn the computer does not start, I have to press a key on the keyboard to boot, not happened before that, a suggestion. |

| - Is there any message on the screen when you have to press a key? - Does the computer use the old-fahsioned BIOS, or UEFI secure boot? - Does it happen regardless of what OS you booted last? - Are you using any 3rd party bootloaders, or just the standard windows' one? |

| What happens is that I opened it to clean the dust, but was not well, it's like when the computer enters hibernation mode, so when I press any normal boot starts. |

| Sounds like you may have tripped an intrusion sensor by removing the cover. If you go into the BIOS, you should be able to clear the alarm, if that is indeed what is causing it. |

| What kind of machine are you on? If you're using an older setup with Master/Slave settings it should boot to the Master first. Also check your boot.ini file in XP and post what it says. It should be something like this: [boot loader] timeout=5 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /fastdetect http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000492.htm |
