Hi,

I would like to run XP as default at startup, but I'm not sure how how
to modify this file (below) without causing any boot problem.

Can you please tell me how and describe these options, what, where etc.

Thank's a lot,
Hossein



default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd1,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat 9 (2.4.20-8)
root (hd1,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=Redhat9.0
initrd /initrd-2.4.20-8.img
title XP Home
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
chainloader +1

Change the default=0 to default=1.

The numbering system for RH and most programming languages starts at 0 so
that the option list is :
0 = Red Hat 9
1 - XP Home

I would also edit the XP entry and rename it
Windows XP

Timeout=10 , this is the number of seconds that will elapse before the
default option will start
