Changing boot priority in SUSE
I installed SUSE linux 9.1. Usually, in redhat, it'll be asked to give boot priority (whether to windows or linux). But while installing SUSE 9.1 I didn't get such a window. So how to change the boot priority to windows?

The boot priority is controlled in the file /boot/grub/menu.lst by a variable named default. The value is probably set to 0 right now meaning it will boot the first entry in the list of entries in menu.lst by default. You can change the value of that variable to 1, 2, etc. based on which you would like booted by default. Keep in mind that the variable starts counting at 0 and not 1 so 0 actually refers to the first entry.

What does your /boot/grub/menu.lst look like? You need to edit "default 0" to the value that matches your Windows entry e.g. if you Windows entry is second, then it would be "default 1".
