 EV> In the C:\ Directory, I saw that the BOOT.INI file had a line:
 EV> "timeout=30" .
 EV> I copied the BOOT.INI and named the copy BOOT.BAK , and then changed the
 EV> "timeout=" Value to 3 in BOOT.INI ..

   That time-out is the time you have to choose the different boot alternatives (for multi boot obviously) and also time to press F8 for safe mood and other alternatives -- but for that I think you have to create at least a second boot alternative. A copy of the first will do, if memory serves me right.

   If you don't care, set the time-out to 5 or something -- just so long that you can intervene with the standard boot sequence if needed.
