you can , in win xp :
right click \"my compyter\" go to \"advanced\"  \"startup and recovery ,settings :
there you can determine which os must startup first and the amount of seconds .
You can also \"edit \" the boot.ini  .

better off you can use MSconfig in windows XP to edit the boot.ini safely.
