Dual boot - auto selecting XP?

bloodline76 · 26 Dec 2007 at 13:12

At the moment my computer defaults to Vista as the choice if i leave it to boot up on its own.

Is there a way of making sure it uses XP as the first choice so I dont have to watch my computer start up?

Thanks.

Merry Christmas all!

Run -> msconfig -> boot tab -> should be a list of OS, Vista will have "default OS" at the end.. should be a way of setting XP to default.

I think

I just had a look in msconfig to find that out, but I only have Vista installed so dunno...

That screen? Need to be in Vista. Then select the XP OS I guess you must have in the lest and click the Set as default button.

Is how I imagine you do it
