I have XP and 98SE set up for dual boot. When I first set this up the boot menu showed Windows XP Professional first and Windows second. Somehow they have become switched so that I have to arrow down to select Win XP.

How do I reset the order in the menu so that XP will boot by default when the timer finishes counting down?

In XP, right click on My Computer and click properties, then click on the advanced tab, then click settings under startup and recovery. There you can choose the default OS.

system properties>advanced>startup & recovery>settings & choose xp from the dropdown menu to be the default OS instead of win98!
