How to change GRUB default entry
by edy_3dz on Jan.31, 2011, under Linux
If you installed Linux over Windows, the bootloader will change to GNU GRUB, and it’s default entry will be the fresh installed Linux. If you don’t want that, and you want Windows to be the default entry, this is what you have to do:
- in GRUB, count which line is the entry which you want to make it default; the count starts from 0, so the second line is 1, the third is 2 etc.
- boot into Linux
- open Terminal
- run the following command: sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg
- if prompted, enter your password
- in gedit, find the following line: set default=”0″
- change “0″ to the line you want
- save the file, and exit.
- you’re done
If you don’t want to use GRUB at all, you can try EasyBCD (runs only on Windows), it’s a very good boot manager.
