Set Windows as Default OS when Dual Booting Ubuntu 10.10
When you install a dual-boot of Ubuntu, one of the frustrating things that you’ll immediately notice is that Ubuntu is now set as the default operating system in the Grub loader. There’s an easy way to switch back to using Windows as the default.
There are many way to change bootup options This is one way to change bootup option First you have to go system --> Administration and see for Startupmanager if it is not their Now go to Applications --> Accessories --> Terminal and type sudo apt-get install startupmanager It will ask for your password give it now It will ask Do you want to continue {y/n}? Type “y” and press Enter After installation is over close the terminal. Now once again you have to go system --> Administration ---> now you will see a new Startupmanager button, just press that startupmanager button it will open a window Enter your password to perform administrative task “now you have to give your password and press enter now you will see startUp-Manager window in that you will see Timeout Timeout in seconds: by default it is 10 second if you want, you have to increase the second 10,20 etc., Default operating system: by default it is Ubuntu if you want to change click the Tab and you will see five options that is Ubuntu with Linux 2.6.35.22 generic Ubuntu with Linux 2.6.35.22 generic(Recovery mode) Memory test (memtest86+) memory (memtest 86+, serial console 115200) Microsoft windows xp professional (on/ext/sda1) and now you go to Microsoft windows xp professional (on/ext/sda1) and click it now it will change Ubuntu to windows just press close tab after closing that window you have to restart your system just wait for 10 second and see now your system will boot windows xp by default Do same thing and enjoy now Allu John Sudhakar System/Network Administrator UCE,OU Osmania University Hyderbad |
