| 285831 | 2004-10-28 22:21:00 | Good morning fellow computer cowboys..... I've got a PC at work with two operating systems. I need both of them on there, but one of them is seldom used. Is there a way that I can turn the OS select screen (on bootup) on and off? So it boots straigh into my default OS every time? Ta. |

| 285836 | 2004-10-28 22:45:00 | Which o/s is in first partition? Are you using hardware profiles as well? There is a setting in H/W profiles that can effect this, but the last operating system should start buy default. In that confguration I would set XP PRO in the last partition, as it is the senior operating system. Do you have a primary partition and partitions in a logical drive, or 2 primary partitions. If you have two primary partitions the default os control should be in your boot loader/manager settings. D. |

| 285840 | 2004-10-28 23:25:00 | Godfarther, Thats the control box I was looking for, in xp there are M/S options to do as camo wants. Havent had to change it for a while, must start to make a list of all the little things I forget. You must only adjust this setting in the last O/S, or set them the same in both (Cant remember which) or they will fight/conflict between the O/Se's. D. |
