I just installed Win2k Pro on top of Win XP Pro... and all seems to be going pretty well. I was able to make the neccesary changes so that I can access XP now even tho 2k Pro was the second install. Now the issue I would like to resolve is at the very beginning of the start up, (still in the black screen), when I am given a timer to choose which OS I would like to boot into, I would like to decrease the time from the standard 30seconds that it gives me. How in the world do I go about doing this? Any help, tips, or suggestions are always greatly appreciated. Thanks.
 
System Properties/ Advanced/ Startup and Recovery/ Settings/ System Startup.

Provides a space for you to type the number of seconds or click the arrows to select the time that will elapse at startup before the default operating system starts automatically.

 
Thanks linney for the quick response. I was able to find it and make the change very easily.
