I have dual boot with winXP.  After upgrading the

Hello. As root, u need to edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and change the line that says default=<value> to the number of the line where your windows is...

for you to know witch is, just count the lines that starts with title, and you'll know the number. as an example, where is a sample of a grub with many options (without windows). Remember, the count starts at 0 and NOT 1, but just for you to know: this grub boots kernel 2.6.11-1.14_FC3

default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu

        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.14_FC3 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
        initrd /initrd-2.6.11-1.14_FC3.img
