I have WinXP SP2 on my system,

and Itried a SUSE-Linux trial distribution,
this wrote the LILO OS loader to my mbr/hd (I dont know where)

now my system boots always Linux, when I dont manually choose WinXP.

but I want to boot WinXP automatically.

can I change it?
I see no options in the LILO,

or how can I delete the LIIILO, and have it only start WinXP on booting my PC?


Please help !!!

Welcome to SAF !!

I would think that this covers this.......but let us know.....

If that doesn't make since:

boot to the repair console and run;

bootcfg /rebuild" = command to fix boot.ini.

FIXBOOT = will fix the boot sector on the boot drive,

FIXMBR = will fix the master boot record if the NT loader
complains of a missing HAL or unmountable boot volume use the "FIXMBR" command..........
