This worked for me to boot into WindowsXP again after the Ubuntu
Install, but now it defaults into Winblows, as the article says off
course.
My question is now, how to make Ubuntu to startup as default??
My menu.lst (I deleted al lines which where uncommented)
Code:
--------------------
default 0
timeout 3
hiddenmenu
title Windows XP Home
root (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
title Ubuntu, kernel
root (hd0,4)
kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda6 ro console=tty0 quiet splash
initrd /initrd.img
savedefault
boot
title Ubuntu, kernel (recovery mode)
root (hd0,4)
kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda6 ro console=tty0 single
initrd /initrd.img
savedefault
boot
title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.8.1-3-amd64-generic
root (hd0,4)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.8.1-3-amd64-generic root=/dev/hda6 ro console=tty0 quiet splash
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.8.1-3-amd64-generic
savedefault
boot
title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.8.1-3-amd64-generic (recovery mode)
root (hd0,4)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.8.1-3-amd64-generic root=/dev/hda6 ro console=tty0 single
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.8.1-3-amd64-generic
savedefault
boot
--------------------
I want to default to
title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.8.1-3-amd64-generic
Can I just say default 4?? Or is it not that simple.
