Thread: setting grub's default os to windows
hi,
had windows default in grub (this desktop pc, gaming, use windows here 98% of time... linux working)
lastly upgrades 11.04 (bad idea... never change running system...)
, grub starts linux default , dont know why
started startupmanager , set windows default - no change
clicked myself /boot/grub/grub.cfg , opened su - looks right here too...
think of something, need change there, post here:
