Is there a way for me to Dual Boot, but let WinXP boot by default (unless I press some button during the around the time I can press a button to enter the BIOS)? Since I wanna dual boot, but other people are using this computer, and adding something like Message asking for which OS to use wouldn't do much good (it would make them freak out ) |

Most bootloaders allow for a timeout before they load the default if you don't press a key. Just make it like 3 seconds and make XP default. | |||

Heh, yeah I figured that out. I set Grub to Hide the menu + load XP. Now if that works (I'll edit this and say if this works.) Edit: Meh, I tried a few things, and it doesn't work. No matter what I do, Ubuntu is default. |

Er, if you hide the menu, how will you get into Linux? | |||

I Press a key (I think it's ESC or something). Still looking into it. Edit: Now, works great. Seems like changing default from '0' to '3' works (didn't know what to change it for, so I tried changing it to 1, it would load the second in the list) (edited by DarkSlaya on 09-10-05 06:25 PM) |
