How to make windows the default boot on grub 1.5?

Blazixe · 06-Aug-2009, 11:23 AM #1

how do i make windows "2000/nt/xp loader" the default choice on the grub 1.5 boot loader? i have 4 other choices and windows is at the bottom. i have ubuntu 9.04 and it's recovery (i have 2 sets of thse but they do the same thing). it automatically loads ubuntu 9.04 after a few seconds. How can i make it choose windows by default and maybe even decrease the timeout? (i'm willing to do this inside windows or ubuntu if needed i cannot do this from within grub). Much thanks for any help =).

Boot ubuntu and browse up to the root folder using
the file manager.
Then go to boot/grub folder.
Once there open the file menu,lst.
Move the windows entry to the top.
Make sure it is typed just as it is.
You can change the timeout there too.
