Windows Boot with GRUB


Is there anyway to change it so that when GRUB shows up, the first item in the list is Windows instead of Linux? I tried editing the boot commands but I didn't know what to do.

You want to edit your /boot/grub/grub.conf file. When you open up the file you will see the Linux section before the Windows section. Simply switch them around and you will be ready to go.

Don't forget to make a backup of your current grub.conf before you go editing it!
