I recently installed win 2000 pro on my win 98 SE.
By default win 2000 boot up first. How do I change the order so that win 98 SE become my default.

You need to manually edit the boot.ini file to make 98 the default OS.

Search the Microsoft web site on the terms boot.ini and bootcfg

The articles will include a list of boot.ini commands and their syntax.

Set the default to Windows 98 in Windows 2000
Go to Control Panel>System>Advanced>Startup and Recovery.
It's right at the top
