There are several ways to do this. You don't mention what version of Mdk you're running (or if you're even running Mdk), but I'll assume you're running 8.0. If you're looking for a GUI tool, go ahead and boot into Linux, and start up X. Start the Mandrake configuration utility, should be right there on the desktop. Go to Boot, then to Boot Config. You'll likely only need to hit ok on the next box, unless you're using Grub as your bootloader, since the program defaults to Lilo. At the next screen, you'll see all the options that Grub/Lilo show you when it starts. Click on Windows, then on Modify, then on Default. Hit OK until you're out of all the screens. You're done. If you want to do it from the console, it's simply a matter of editing /etc/lilo.conf or /boot/grub/menu.lst (I think. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong) making the appropriate changes, and re-running /sbin/lilo or the grub installer script and you're done. Just look at the files to see what needs to be edited.
