Or just copy & paste the complete boot.ini data from this message according to your installation/s.

For a single installation:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" noexecute=optin /fastdetect

For a dual installation:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

And you have a dual boot installation? 2 windows XPs installed on the same hard drive?
if that's so, you only need two lines that include:
(0)partition(1)
(0)partition(2)
If the dual boot problem is you have only one installed Windows XP but the boot screen shows 3 options [maybe from previous installations], then you only need the line that includes (0)partition(1)... you can safely delete the 2nd and 3rd lines... And what you read between the quote symbols can be anything, so you can delete the "(TuneUP Backup)" part if you want.
