How to make win2k default in the multi OS selection thingy on startup?

[ZenMan]

I have windows 2000 and windows 98. Anyone know where I can set it up so that windows 2000 is selected first on the multi OS selection thingy on startup? I installed win98 last and now it selects that as default... I want win2k as defult. Any ideas?

Open up c:/config.sys in notepad

Look for these lines and modify to suit your needs:

menuitem=Win98, Windows 98
menuitem=Win2K, Windows 2000
menudefault=Win2K,5


the "5" is the amount of time you get before it gets automatically selected.

Nope, didn't find it. The config.sys file didn't contain any of that. Also did a serch for files containing "menuitem", but didn't find anything of interest...`at least not on the root, look around a bit more now. So any other ideas?

this is my C:\boot.ini file:

[boot loader]
timeout=15
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
C:\mbr.lin="Redhat Linux 7.2"
