Changing The Order Of Duel Boot (UBUNTU & XP HOME) choices

by trevoristight Jul 23, 2006 1:11PM PDT

I have ubuntu and windows XP Home in duel boot but I don't like ubuntu being the first in the list that will automatically start in a number of seconds if no choice is made.

I would like XP to be in that position.

Can I make that change?

I have a presario V2000 notebook.

From the terminal within Ubuntu type" sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.1st
Scroll down to default and enter the number of your Windows position remembering 0 is the first position you can also adjust the length of time before boot.
