Hi I have dual boot my laptop with Fedora Core 7 and Windows XP. The
default boot is Fedora Core 7 but i want Windows XP to boot by
default. How do i change this with KDE or Gnome or any other way that
is much easier.

Thanks

/etc/grub.conf

default=0

Change the 0 to the ordinal for the OS you want to boot.

How do i find out the ordinal number of other OS that i want to boot?

Each OS has a "title" line, ex: title Fedora Core (2.6.20-1.2320.fc5smp).

The first one is 0 (zero) the second is 1 etc...

I told you this was going to happen.
