Windows + Linux with GRUB boot loader

[Sigmundur Jonsson]

Is it possible to have Windows XP on the top in the list of OSes in
GRUB? Because GRUB will automatically start the top one(Linux is no.1
by default).
This may be the wrong group to post this, if so, tell me what group it
should belong to
(http://groups.google.com/group/linuxusersgroup?lnk=li maybe?).

You need to edit the menu file for grub. Different distros place it in
different places. Here's a starting point:

OK thanks a lot, the default is = 0 and it is Linspire. Then it has 2
more items then Windows XP, isn't that 3(4th in the list) because it
start counting at "0"? I'll try that (Too bad my explorer that
supports ReiserFS can't write files ).

OK it worked to change default=0 to default=3. Windows XP got
highlighted automatically so it started after the timeout
(The explorer I talked about earlier is UFS Explorer).

Glad to hear you got it working.
