switch to xp from 7
I have 7 and xp installed. Mostly I use xp but 7 has made itself the default OS on startup, I have to select xp with the keyboard. Last night xp shut itself down for some internal reason (not a power outage, my clock was not flashing). On startup I found the keyboard was disabled, so I cannot choose to start xp. 7 starts and activates the keyboard, but if 7 is not running the keyboard remains dead. Apparently whatever caused the shutdown damaged my bios, and I cannot enter it to reset it without the keyboard. From 7, is there any way to change the MBR so that xp becomes either the default, or the only OS available?

From 7, is there any way to change the MBR so that xp becomes either the default, or the only OS available? Run msconfig.exe in Windows 7 and in the boot tab change the default OS to XP."A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code" CLIP- Stellvertreter http://www.winvistaside.de/
