How to change the boot sequence in grub ?

I have ubuntu as default OS, however, I would like to change the default OS to win xp. How can this be done? Thank you.

When boot up, remember the line number where xp lies.

After login. Open a terminal,

Quote:

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

change the line "GRUB_DEFAULT=0" to the xp line number, then save and quit.

Quote:

sudo update-grub

to update the grub.

reboot to see if it works.

Thank you ! BUt I could not find the xp line, can you help ???Thanks !
