Primary OS - Dual Boot

[Wayne Brown]

I dual boot with WinXP & Win2000. WinXP is my primary OS. I have
gotten a nasty piece of spyware in WinXP and won't have time to deal with it
properly for a couple of weeks.
How can I change and have WIN2000 be my primary OS on boot-up? I have
tried changing the order in boot.ini but keep getting error messages.

Make your change for the default OS here: R-click My Computer > Properties >
Advanced [tab] > Startup and Recovery.
