Can you get into your system bios? Does the pause key work when your first turn the machine on? Do the caps lock, num lock or scroll lock keys change the lights on the keyboard before windows is loaded?

Here is my boot.ini
Code:

[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
