include any software programs, files, etc. that was on the computer. Help!
To specify the default operating system for startup.
Open System in Control Panel.
On the Advanced tab, under Startup and Recovery, click Settings.
Under System startup, in the Default operating system list, click the
operating system you want to start when you turn on or restart your
computer.
Select the Display list of operating systems for check box, and then
type the number of seconds you want the list displayed before the
default operating system starts automatically.
