Hi,

I would like to run XP as default at startup, but I'm not sure how how
to modify this file (below) without causing any boot problem.

Can you please tell me how and describe these options, what, where etc.

Thank's a lot,
Hossein

default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd1,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat 9 (2.4.20-8)
         root (hd1,0)
         kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=Redhat9.0
         initrd /initrd-2.4.20-8.img
title XP Home
         rootnoverify (hd0,1)
         chainloader +1
