In Windows XP...go to Control Panel...then Click System...then Advanced. Under "Startup and Recovery" (bottom), select "Settings". Then Select "EDIT". For SAFETY...PRINT THIS PAGE. However, look at DEFAULT Line. It might read "Windows" at the end or possibly WINNT and this word will be listed in one of the two lines below after the (1). Whichever you have...switch to the opposite one and your computer will "default to that setting". You won't ERASE the second OS, but you can get around it SAFELY. In addition you can reduce the time your computer takes to THINK about WHICH operating system, by editing the "Time to display list of operating systems" from it's 30 second default. I had the same problem and set mine to 4 seconds. I reboot without a hitch and into the CORRECT OS. Good luck and "Save" often. :)
