I've successfully installed windows xp sp1 and ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS in a single 80GB HD.

But, the operating system that starts automatically is Ubuntu which I want to change it to Windows XP. Otherwise each time I have to select windows xp from the list to start. Actually, I'm still using Ubuntu for experiment works and all my primary workings are done in Windows XP.

Please advice.

You can edit it through the bootloader, there are programs in the synaptic package manager that edit the bootloader, i cant remember what they are called at the moment, search for it.

Download the ebook "Beginning Ubuntu linux". I believe that you will find what you need at pages 585-587
