Bootmanager

Hello,

I installed Vista in a mulitboot configuration.
Now I want do config the bootmanager. But I do not know how to do this.
I thougt you could edit the configuration with BCDEDIT.exe
(...\Windows\system32\)
But it is not possible.
I want that my old OS (winXP) is selected, and that the time you are able to
choose the OS is less than 30 seconds and later I want to install an very old
OS which will not have a bootmanager.
So I need to know how to config the bootmanager.

Thanks Christian

Right click My Computer, Properties, Advanced and under Startup section
you can set the default and time adjust.

BCDedit is not very user friendly. Download VistaBootPro
(www.vistabootpro.org) This is a lot more user friendly. Click on the Manage
OS Entries to make the chnages you need.
