I have ubuntu 11.04 and windows vista installed on my pc. I have already set windows vista as my default os, but I'd like to put it at the top of the boot menu (currently it's in 4th). How do I do that???:confused:

Hi there.
Go to /etc/grub.d/ and you'll see a file named '30_os-prober'. Rename it '09_os-prober' (to give it a lower number than 10_linux').
Then sudo update-grub
You'll have to change the default menu entry number again.

Thanks a lot! Just a quick tip for those that might want to do this: you need to have root privileges to rename the file.
