I recently installed Mandrake 7.2 and have a few questions about the boot

How do I get Windows to be my default OS in the list.
Count from 0 up in /boot/grub/menu/lst, for each "title" you find, and
change the "default" into that: e.g.
timeout 5
color black/cyan yellow/cyan
i18n (hd0,4)/boot/grub/messages
keytable (hd0,4)/boot/us.klt
altconfigfile (hd0,4)/boot/grub/menu.once
default 0
title linux
kernel (hd0,4)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5 hdc=ide-scsi
title failsafe
kernel (hd0,4)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5 failsafe
title windows
root (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
title floppy
root (fd0)
chainloader +1
Windows is the 3rd one, so 0,1,2. Number 2. The 6th line is "default 0"
Change that to "default 2" and you're set.
Also, what is the command to get fdisk to remove grub from my boot sector?
fdisk /mbr
I will be putting Linux on a different hard drive soon
You'd better!! ;)
