# Issue the command: '''cp &nbsp;&nbsp;/boot/grub/menu.lst &nbsp;&nbsp;/boot/grub/menu.bk''' (just making a backup copy...)<br /><br />
# Issue the command: '''gedit &nbsp;&nbsp;/boot/grub/menu.lst''' (this opens the file in gedit application to allow you to make changes)<br /><br />
# Under Comments '''## End Default Options ##''' lists the linux Kernel versions (in groupings labelled '''title''', '''uuid''', '''kernel''' and '''initrd''') that will boot up.<br/> The first grouping at the top of that list will be the DEFAULT operating system.<br /><br />
# Farther below should list '''non-linux OS''' choices. Usually you can identify them because in the grouping will contain the keyword "'''chainloader'''"<br /><br />
# Copy and paste the non-linux (eg. Windows) group sections ABOVE the DEFAULT Linux grouped section)<br /><br />
# Save and exit the file.<br /><br />
# Test-out by rebooting your machine to load into your DEFAULT (Windows) OS, and then reboot to load into your Linux menu item.
