To accomplish this you would edit lilo. /etc/lilo.conf

The XP partition is likely listed now under other

other=/dev/hda1
label="MS_W<>®_XP"

And you would want to add a line reflective of the label, right under the 
timeout line that sets a default for boot

# This is a machine generated file. If edited, the
# system will stop modifying it. To allow the system to
# resume management of this file, remove it and run
# /sbin/fooze.
boot="/dev/hda"
install=/boot/cboot.b
message = /boot/splash.lilo
map=/boot/map
prompt
fix-table
lba32
delay=70
timeout="70"
default="MS_W<>®_XP"

Then you would save the changes made to lilo.conf, and open a console, then type 

in

lilo

to save the changes.

Next follow Hint 309 to make sure the changes are not wiped out when you reboot.

OR LIKE THIS:
With Lindows running, in Admin. mode, open File Manager.
Near the top left you see an Up green arrow. 
Click on that and the right pane 
list of files will go up a level at a time. 
Click on the green arrow until the 
top listing in the right pane is .bin (you will now be looking at the root of 
your file system.
Now search down to find .etc . 
Click on it to open up its sub files. Go down to 
find lilo.conf (a text file) . They recommend saving a copy of this file to a 
backup directory. 
Click on it and Text Editor will open the file. Just below the 
line Timeout=70 make a line space. 
Now at the bottom are two lines Other - associated with WinXp. 
Cut and paste those two lines up to the space you made 
above. 
Now the 'Other' block of lines will become the default. Now save this 
text file as is.
Now back to desktop and bring up Console. Type cd /sbin(enter) . this puts you 
into the /sbin directory. 
Now type lilo(enter), this sets the lilo bootloader. 
If you are using a v 4.5 , now type chmod 644 jiffyboot(enter) (If you are using 
a v 4.0 , instead of jiffyboot type fooze.) This stops the jiffyboot or fooze 
from rewriting the lilo file. Now back to Desktop and restart.
