I had Win 2000 Pro before Installing Redhat Linux 8.0 which loads as default. But I want Windows to load as Default OS. How to do this? i guess its a grub loader. Details explanation needed.

Open /boot/grub/grub.conf in an editor. Look for line like default=N where N is the number of the default system to boot:
N=0 means boot 1st operating system
N=1 means boot 2nd operating system
N=2 means boot 3rd operating systemIn the following example the 2nd operating system, "Red Hat 8.0", is the default operating system to boot:
#boot=/dev/hda
default=1
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd1,6)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Windows XP Pro
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
title Red Hat 8.0 (2.4.18-14)
root (hd0,6)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
initrd /initrd-2.4.18-14.img
title Red Hat 9.0 (2.4.20-8)
root (hd1,6)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=LABEL=/1 hdc=ide-scsi
initrd /initrd-2.4.20-8.img
