ok installed koppix to hd everything works fine but i need to switch the main boot to windows in the bootloader for my parents so the dont go crazy over something new that they dont get

all i need is to know how to make the windows os first on the boatloader list so it will boot at the time out period

[user unknown]

Well - the two most popular bootloaders are lilo and grub.
Perhaps you know which one you're using, and I guess as soon as you tell us, which one it is, we will give you advice.

sry i thought that i had said which i used

im using lilo by default from the knoppix install

Okay, since you use lilo as bootloader, what you need to do is this:
1) Edit your /etc/lilo.conf. Find line that says: default="Linux- XXXX"
Change that to , default= "Whatever you windows is labeled"
2) You can change your time out if you want to.
3) Save the edited lilo.conf.
4) Open konsole as root, and run : lilo so lilo will be updated.

You can also arrange your lilo menu, so that windows menu will be on top of linux by cut and paste and put it above others.
