How to boot back in Windows?

Hi,

this question might look silly but I searched all this ng, also on qnxstart.com and qnx.com and still can’t find an answer to it!

I installed QNXRTP on a fresh partition from the iso image I burned on a cd (booted the cd and installed from there). I also have win2000 on my computer. The question is: “how the hell do I boot back in Windows??”

Now when I boot my computer, I can only boot QNX. No boot menu or something like that…

Any help appreciated.

regards,

JF

PS: I’m a newbie, so please don’t be too hard on me :slight_smile:

From within QRTP, run via a shell “fdisk /dev/hd0”,
then select the partition you want boot from.

Or when you see the message “booting from partition 4” (I’m sure
of the exact message), press the number (1-4) to select which partition
to boot from (you only have a 1 second window to type the key)

Or install a more userfriendly boot manager :wink:

While you boot, before you see :slight_smile: “Press ESC to boot alternate OS”, try to press
1 or 2 or 3 or 4 :slight_smile:, one of the 4 number should bring you back to windows.

press another number on the keyboard …usually 2,3 or 4
