BootLoader

[sawildcat]

How can I set the bootloader that came with Mandrake Linux 9.0 to boot into windoze xp instead of Linux?

Normally I would go to linux but I have a 6 year old that plays his games on my puter in windoze, and last time I loaded Mandrake 8.1 when it auto loaded into linux he hit the reset on the tower and I could never get linux to reload after that, I want to avoid this happening again.

You don't say wether you installed lilo or grub. I believe the default is lilo.

edit the /etc/lilo.conf file (need to be root)

There is a line that says default = linux.

Change that to default = windows


I do believe that 'windows' is the is correct label for booting to windows.

Then run the command lilo

yes it is lilo, where do I edit this?

/etc/lilo.conf, and then be sure to type this command, /sbin/lilo as root.

Log in as root to modify lilo.conf file!
