In Windows click on the start menu and then click on "run". Type in msconfig and hit enter, now open the "BOOT.INI" tab. In this tab chart highlight the windows operating system entry and choose "default" from just below the chart window. Reboot and it should boot into Windows by default.
For "Jolicloud Express" installs, all you have to do is go to "Add/Remove Programs" in the Control Panel and Remove Jolicloud For partition installations or installations that were done through the Jolicloud ISO on a USB key. Here's what you have to do: This worked for me last night on my HP Mini, running Windows 7: 1) Put in the Windows 7 install DVD (external drive). 2) Make sure you boot from the DVD (on the HP, hold down F9 at startup) 3) When you get to the screen that says "Install Now" click "Repair my computer" 4) Select "Command Prompt" 5) Type in "bootsect.exe" (without the quotation marks), hit return 6) Type in "bootsect /nt60 ALL /force" (without the quotation marks), hit return* 7) Type "exit" (without the quotation marks), hit return to close Command Prompt 8) Hit the "Shutdown" button on the Repair My Computer menu 9) Boot up your computer; it should now boot straight into Windows. NOTE: I had my installation of Jolicloud on an SD card. Judging from similar posts on removing Ubuntu installations, if you have Jolicloud on a partition of your C:/ drive, you might have to boot into Windows and remove your Jolicloud partition first (through Disk Management ^note), before beginning step 1. I only removed my SD card after I had completed steps 1 thru 9 though, and restarted safely into Windows. So if you feel more comfortable trying the steps above without deleting the partition, I'd say that'd be ok to do as well. *#6 footnote: You have to add "/force" otherwise this won't work. If you've tried this before without adding "/force" at the end of the string, that is the reason why it didn't work. ^note: a) Right click on "Computer/My Computer" b) Select "Manage" c) Under "Storage", click on "Disk Management" for a list of your attached volumes. Hope this helps. - Johanan Sen (jsen.me)

Primary NTFS Partition.....
(On Windows), the active partition is a primary partition on a disk which Windows will load its files from. An active partition is always a startup partition. If there are several OS's on the one disk, Windows will load from the one marked as active. - pentavore
