    If you upgraded (replaced 2K with XP) just edit the boot.ini file in c:\ and remove the 2K entry. Regular text file so notepad, edit, or any similar will deal with it fine. DO NOT use a word processor for the job though.

    If you set up to dual-boot, set XP as the default and lower the time from the default of 30 seconds to 5 or so and you won't have so long to wait for XP to start up.
