I have linux and xp installed on my computer. When I start up my computer it asks me what operating system I want to load. Can I skip this and make it automatically load xp?
How to make XP boot instead of linux?
Log on to linux as root.
Open the file called /etc/grub.conf
There is a line that says default=0.
Below you will find entries for linux as well as windows. DEFAULT=0 means that the fist title line is taken as the default boot entry. You can change this variable to 1 so that next entry i.e windows is default.
There is also a line that tells you how much to wait before it auto boots the default entry. this is generally 30 sec...and it s good time if you change your mind....to make it seamless...you can reduce this time....but dont make it too less coz then you wont be able to make a choice incase you want to boot the other operating system
Hope this helps!
Reply:Why you wanna do that?
Then you can't boot Linux without changing back the bootloader.
Uninstalling Linux would be better.
Reply:Yes you can.....
Find out which boot loder your using and configure it through linux, Select Default load windows after 5 second wait...
To be more specific need information about version of linux, and windows and bootloder...
Reply:Not sure if this works on a dual boot with Linux, but you can try this -
Logon to your Windows OS.
Right-click My Computer and select Properties. Click the Advanced tab.
Under Startup And Recovery, click Settings.
Under Default Operating System, the drop-down list displays the current boot system. Select the Windows OS from the list.
Deselect the option Time To Display List Of Operating Systems. Click OK.
Hope this works for you.
