      Re: Make Windows boot as default in grub

      Lets hope u are using the same grub as i do.....

      Go to root , then boot, then menu.lst and open menu.lst.

      Scroll down till u find something like the part i got glowing in red....
      # menu.lst - See: grub(Cool, info grub, update-grub(Cool
      # grub-install(Cool, grub-floppy(Cool,
      # grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub
      # and /usr/share/doc/grub-doc/.

      ## default num
      # Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and
      # the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.
      #
      # You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default entry
      # is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.
      # WARNING: If you are using dmraid do not use 'savedefault' or your
      # array will desync and will not let you boot your system.
      default 0

      ## timeout sec
      # Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically booting the default entry
      # (normally the first entry defined).
      timeout 10

      ## hiddenmenu
      # Hides the menu by default (press ESC to see the menu)
      #hiddenmenu

      # Pretty colours
      #color cyan/blue white/blue

      ## password ['--md5'] passwd

      # control (menu entry editor and command-line) and entries protected by the
      # command 'lock'
