Hi All,

I have a laptop that is already dual boot (Ubuntu 8.10 / Win XP) and works fine.

As I have new laptop want to hand over my old machine to my partner. She wants it to boot into Win XP as the default.

Realise that I will probably need to edit some Grub settings but would like some advice before I poke around in there.

Thanks in advance

Jim

Hi

Thanks for that - will give it a go this weekend when I can get to the laptop.
