Changing order in dualboot

[Guest]

I have a machine with a dual boot of Win2000. When i loaded the 2nd load, it
made itself the primary boot OS. I want to make the original load the
primary OS. I know in WinNT, you could edit the boot.ini file but how do you
do this in W2K?

Same way. Control Panel|System|Advanced|Startup and Recovery

You could either edit boot.ini or from the Control Panel, go into the
System icon, click on Advanced, and then click on Startup and Recovery.

The same way. Either use a text editor, such as NotePad, to
manually edit C:\Boot.ini to select a new default OS, or, from within
Win2K, right-click My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Startup and
Recovery, Settings > Default operating system.
