How to set Windows as Default OS when Dual Booting Ubuntu?
Answer / amitshiknis
Command is - sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
This is show output as -
## default num
# Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering
starts from 0, and
# the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.
#
# You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case,
the default entry
# is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.
# WARNING: If you are using dmraid do not change this entry
to 'saved' or your
# array will desync and will not let you boot your system.
default 0
The important line is the last one. You will need to change
that number 0 to match the Windows boot section. Typically
it's always going to be 4 on a default dual-boot
configuration. Change this value to 4, and then save and
reboot your machine. You should go into Windows instead of
Ubuntu automatically.
