    I have Windows 7 Home Premium installed and wand to install Jolicloud aswell. i have done so in the past but what i usually so is simply tuen on my laptop and let everything load, but what Jolicloud does is makes itself the 1st choice of OS to load. I want it to load automatically to Windows unless i choose Jolicloud.

    I hope that made sense.

    Thanks.

    I think Jolicloud uses the Windows Boot Loader.

    1. Start Windows (select it manually)
    2. open msconfig (just type it in the start menu)
    3. Go to the Boot tab.
    4. Select the Windows Installation from the list (the other entry should be Jolicloud)
    5. Select the Set as default button.
    6. Confirm with Ok

    You can also set a Timeout. This is the time it waits till the default option is automatically loaded.

    If you are using some other boot manager then it will be different.
