I have two hard drives, one is 80 GB w/ XP, the other is 6 GB w/ Mandrake 8.2... Mandrake automatically set itsself to the default OS, so I need to know how to XP back to my default OS.

Thanks in advance...

my best guess would be in the bios you can choose which hard drive for your system to boot up.

Gotta edit lilo a bit so that it is the default. You shoudl;d have something in /etc/lilo.conf. Edit it and where it says

install=/boot/boot.b
default=linux
keytable=/boot/us.klt
lba32

Under default=linux, you gotta change to that to the name of the Windwos partitoin. Most likley itll be NT. Change it according to the label on each partition.
