[SOLVED] How to make Windows boot first
« on: October 26, 2011, 10:25:10 PM »
Hello, I have recently installed pclinuxos to a separate hdd in my computer with Windows XP on the other hdd and all went well. My issue is that I want to have windows boot first an that is not the case now. The pclinux splash screen loads first with the linux os as the default option. My Bios setting is set for the hdd that has Windows on it. Any help would be appreciated.

In PCLinuxOS, Menu > More Applications > Configuration > Configure Your Computer >>> Boot > Set up boot system > Go through the process till you get to the boot list > select and open the entry for windows > tick the box beside the word Default > OK > finish. Reboot.
