editing boot loader

[TS Mathews]

I partitioned my C drive so that I could install Vista and run dual boot. I
don't necessarily want to remove Vista but I would like to edit the boot
loader if possible so that XP is the default. I can't seem to find any way
to get this done. Is it possible or do I need to completely remove Vista?

Thanks

Hi,

Two ways you can do this:

1) Run msconfig from the start/search box. On the boot tab, select the XP
entry and then click 'set as default'.

2) Start, type CMD and right click the entry in the menu, select the option
to run as administrator. From the prompt, run:

CD\
bcdedit /enum

Look at the identifier for the XP entry, then run:

bcdedit /default [identifier}
