Is it possible to change the boot order of a Multiple OS? Win98 S.E. is installed on the first partition as Drive C:\ and Win XP Pro. is on the second Partition as Drive D:\. When booting the computer, it defaults to Win XP Pro. and will load the same if I do not choose Win98 within 30 seconds. I would like for it to default to Win98 S.E..
you can select from the drop down list the OS you want as default to boot. Select '98; save change and next time you boot it will boot automatically to '98... There also you can change the default time to boot as well... Personally I tend to leave it at 30secs. cetainly not less than 20secs...
