dual boot default

[Guest]

I currently have my computer setup to dual boot between Xp home and media
Centre 2005. The Media Centre Option is set as option 1 is it possible to
change it to option 2 instead and have XP Home as option 1

Boot.Ini in the root of your C: Drive controls boot actions. It's a
"Flat" or text file. Just use Notepad/Wordpad to edit and re-order
the Operating Systems fields to your liking.

If you want a time-out default choice to be your other OS, then you
would need to edit the Default value field.

You can also edit/Modify the Boot.Ini from System Properties, Startup
and Recovery, Settings (Button).

Ben,

Click Start, Run and type MSCONFIG (Press Enter.) In the Boot.ini tab,
select the appropriate entry under the [operating systems] section, and then
click the "Set as default" button. This button makes the currently selected
operating system in BOOT.INI the default operating system to load at boot
time.
