Hi,
I have just fixed my cousins netbook that had several bad viruses. I installed Ubuntu Netbook on a 20 gig partition I made, and then I booted into Ubuntu and installed Avast anti-virus and scanned the windows partition, removed and restored some system files while in Ubuntu and then booted back to Windows XP and finished updating and fixing that installation.
I would like to keep the Ubuntu Netbook installation on this netbook so that if I need it again I can just boot into it and make use of it. I found running live off the USB stick and installing and updating the AV to be a bit of a pain in the azz.
This is my cousin's and she wants to use XP, so the end goal here is to change the default OS in grub to the Windows XP installation and have it remain the default even it I update the Ubuntu kernel and it adds another line to the grub menu.
How do I do this?
Thanks
