Rohit, I use Linux at home, and dual boot with Win98. If my family didn't
see me working on it, they would never have known that there was another
operating system.
LILO can be set to automatically boot into Windows if nothing is done in
about 2 or 3 seconds.
It displays the prompt:
Lilo:
and waits for about 3 secs. If nothing is done, it boots into the default
os, which in your case would be Win.
You could even change the prompt to look like something less suspicious.
Like:
Booting... or something like that. As long as you know what to do, that's
all that there is to it.
