Ok. Just yesterday I download and install Mandriva (Free 2007). Easy installation that’s sure.
I must have made a boner because now I have to start windows XP via linux boot menu.
Since yesterday I had Windows XP (C drive) and Linux mandrake at another partition. I had make a boot menu which look like dos environment (you know black screen..) but now I have to 1) open my pc 2) select windows 3) then the other boot menu (the old one) opens and I choose windows (again).
As you may understand I want windows as default.

Ps: The old boot menu doesn’t work for linux. When I choose it, all the screen run from 99999 digits!!

We'll need more information as to which boot loader you're using. The linux bootloaders are grub, and lilo (here is a shot of a modifed lilo install).

I thought the forum was shut down after my question..

I use lilo.
