i didn`t get the meaning of u`r Q. but if u r talking of multi boot system then follow the following steps\n\nopen c:\nlook for boot.ini file\nit would look like this\n----------------------------\n[Boot Loader]\ntimeout=30\nDefault=C:&#92;\n[Operating Systems]\nC:&#92;="Microsoft Windows 98"\n---------------------------------------\nif you change the order here it would be changed in the boot process.by changing default you can cange the preselected one\nif boot.ini does not exist you can create one to override.

This is normally a setting in the BIOS. Look for a message right after you turn on your PC, saying something like "Press F10 for setup".\n\nOr, you can create a small script and put it in your startup folder. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=314879

trying going in the safe mode .. if you are successful in that .. look into the START MENU > PROGRAMS > STARTUP  here you might see some file which should not be here. If you have any delete it.\n\nSecondly in START > RUN type 'msconfig'  (without quotes ' ) then see the STARTUP TAB. Here you will find all the programs which executes at the time of start up.\n\nWhy i"m telling you all this because sometimes a software gets corrupt and it re-boots your system as soon as the system starts up

Let try this first : load Win.XP CD, press Delete momentary during reboot. On BIOS page,change boot order to CD the first.On Widows set up page,choose option REPAIR (keep everything intact).When finish,change boot order to HDD the first

Press F2 or DEL repeatedly when you turn on the computer. This will take you to the BIOS. From there, navigate to the boot options page (or similar, depending on system)... find the options that designate 1st, 2nd, 3rd boot device, or "Boot Order"... make sure that CD ROM is first, Floppy is second, and HD or Hard Drive is third.

Go to start-Run and type "msconfig".  Go to the "startup" tab.\n\nYou can uncheck the program from the list there.  That will stop it from running automatically at boot.

Windows XP does use autoexec.bat, but only to read in environment variables (like PATH).\n\nFurthermore, autoexec.bat is not really a good way to set environment variables anymore, because you have to restart for the changes to take effect, and now you can effect changes in global environment variables without restarting.\n\nEnvironment variables are really only read from autoexec.bat for backward compatibility--use of autoexec.bat to set environment variables is, as the UNIX folk like to say, deprecated. ( See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deprecated )\n\nA better way to set environment variables is:\n\nSystem Properties (Windows Key + Pause Key) > Advanced > Environment Variables\n\nWhen you use this to create, delete, and modify environment variables, be mindful of whether you're changing environment variables for the system, or just for the current user.

Go with answer number 2 but I always typed msconfig.exe and then went to my Startup list there to edit it.

during power up one of the Function keys will let you boot into safe mode....well in that menu you can see a command line login, if you know the command line well you can do anything but it takes a while to do but once your in, change away anything.   Just so u know, anything can be done from the command line before the actual windows login screen appears. Or just use a simple Linux live cd, you don't need to install live cds from linux

You are at the command line prompt which allows you to enter DOS like commands to fix your system.  I suggest you read up on the available commands (such as fixboot and chkdsk) before you do anything as there are a number of options but you really should understand what needs to be done before you use the command line to repair your system.

A text file with the .BAT extention. \n\nIt will then be executable, and run the commands listed in the file in order via DOS prompt.

open the file /etc/grub.conf . This is the file where the boot records are stored for grub.\nif say "dos" is the label for windows then the file will lokk like this , when the linux is your default OS to boot\n\n##/etc/grub.conf\n# grub.conf generated by anaconda\n#\n# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file\n# NOTICE:  You do not have a /boot partition.  This means that\n#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.\n#          root (hd0,2)\n#          kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda3\n#          initrd /boot/initrd-version.img\n#boot=/dev/hda\ndefault=0\ntimeout=10\nsplashimage=(hd0,2)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz\ntitle Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-8)\n        root (hd0,2)\n        kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi\n        initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.20-8.img\ntitle dos\n        rootnoverify (hd0,0)\n        chainloader +1\n\n##\nstudy the file . Look at the line default = 0.\nnow in the editor , change the line as \ndefault = 1\nnow the file will look like \n\n##/etc/grub.conf\n# grub.conf generated by anaconda\n#\n# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file\n# NOTICE:  You do not have a /boot partition.  This means that\n#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.\n#          root (hd0,2)\n#          kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda3\n#          initrd /boot/initrd-version.img\n#boot=/dev/hda\ndefault=1\ntimeout=10\nsplashimage=(hd0,2)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz\ntitle Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-8)\n        root (hd0,2)\n        kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi\n        initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.20-8.img\ntitle dos\n        rootnoverify (hd0,0)\n        chainloader +1\n###\n\nnow you reboot your system , your windows will be your default OS to start

Yes. From a DOS prompt, "format c:" will format the c drive... "format d:" will format just d. If you want C: to be bootable when you are done, make sure you use a "/s" switch at the end.
