Title: uninstall problems
Post by: hnugz on 18 June 2002, 04:04

I have 2 hard drives, one with win 98 and one with red hat linux.  I formatted the linux drive and now it still wants to boot linux.  Where in windows does it store this or how can I get rid of this?  (trying to install red hat 7.3 now)

One more thing, how can I make it so linux doesn't automatically boot after like 5 seconds.  I sometimes start the comp then leave and I hate it booting straight to linux.

ok you say that you are using redhat 7.3 k then.when you boot up linux there is a directy called

/boot/grub

thyp in
cd /boot/grub

then open the grub.conf with your favirite text edidtor, notice you have to be root
there should be a line called default
default= somthing
now the numbering for the boot options goes
0
1
2
3
etc
etc

so it is probably set to boot 1
just change it to whatever the number of the windows boot is.
i hoped this helped
