[so_what 0]

Hello people!

I have just installed Fedora 4 with a dual boot with windows XP. I have sellected as a defualt os the Fedora Kernel but i don´t know how to switch the defult to winodws and modify the boot menu so that instead of Other it will display Windows XP.

Everything is working fine (with both os) i just want to make the above changes but i don´t know how!!!

Tnx for your time!!!!

Real easy. Open /boot/grub/grub.conf with your favourite editor as root. You will have two entries, one for Fedora the other for XP. Notice at the top of the file you will see something like....

 

default 0

 

In grub, everything is one number behind. Change the "0" to a "1," save and reboot. You should then boot to XP first.

How do you change the enrty to display Windows XP instead of Other?

Use Dan's instructions to get into the Grub.conf file and change the entry that should look something like;

 

title other

chainloader +1

 

to

 

title Windows XP

chainloader +1
