The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Windows XP boot loader

Asked by ACCharters in Operating Systems Miscellaneous

Tags: xp, bootloader, boot, loader

Hi

I have just installed Windows XP on a separate partition of my hard disk to trial it. My primary OS is Windows 98SE on "C" drive and XP is on "E". The boot loader defaults to Windows XP and counts down and defaults to loading XP if no other choice is made. I want to change the default to Windows 98SE. Below is the bootloader - can anyone tell me what changes are needed to this file to change the default to 98SE ?

Many thanks, Adrian Charters

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
C:\="Microsoft Windows 98SE"
