Powering off sends me to "Launch Windows Repair" automatically instead! What do I do?

With Windows 2008 R2 Server, I noticed that if I remotely reboot the machine (because it is hung or I think it is hung), the server, when it restarts, defaults to "Launch Windows Repair" (or something similar) rather than "Start Windows Normally".
To change it, I have to trek down to the server room and change the boot up otherwise it will go into an endless loop (because I don't have the setup media and DVD-ROM installed).
This seems to be new with 2008 R2 because I have not seen it elsewhere.
What do I do? How can I remove this or change the default?
