Hi,

I have a windows + linux dual boot machine. Over last few months I have
moved to windows exclusively. I was wondering how I should go about making
the system boot directly into windows, without any menu or delay. Is it
possible ?

Which bootloader are you using? Grub, Lilo or WinNT?

I am using grub, but, if it is possible to use WinNT boot loader, then I'd
prefer that.

Assuming your on XP here..

Boot into the recovery console and run FIXMBR and FIXBOOT -- I dont
remember witch one is the one that did it (mabie you need both) but i got
rid of GRUB with this. I would also bootcfg /rebuild too, to make sure your
windows install is set to boot.

Personally, i would also reccomend installing recovery console as a
permanent boot option--

No wasting time when a problem arises that way!
