How to change grub bootloader order
de mike 06/25/2006 12:13
I hope someone can help -
I installed ubuntu as a dual boot on my backup box, but it insists on
prioritising Ubuntu on boot, and usually I forget, and have to reboot, and
can even forget again, and get really ticked off. If I had a brain I'd be
dangerous.
I'd like to keep the partition, so I can try other distros from time to
time, so can anyone help me to make Windows the prior loaded OS?
I've looked in the manual, and can't work it out. Someone suggested that
gparted is a good tool, but the live CD iso doesn't boot either of my boxes
(yes, I'm burning it as an ISO)
The windows OS is pretty fresh, and got software installed, so I don't
particularly want to scrub the disc and start again, and anyhow I still
want to try linux distros, just in case there's one I can work out there.
So what can I do? get some softeare that will do it?
Make grub prioritise windows?
D/L a distro with a more accommodating loader?
TIA
