I just installed Ubuntu last night and tried to start it, from what I had heard once you install it you are presented with a menu at the start that lets you choose which OS you want to use, currently it just starts Windows. Does anyone know how to change it to start Ubuntu? Thankyou.Which version of Windows?
Which version of Ubuntu?


This IMAGE is from Linux-Mint, but Ubuntu has this same feature. You can install it to a directory and it will use the Windows boot loader. Some reduction in disk performance. But I like this windows friendly install. So do a lot of people.
just reconfigure grub

Code: [Select]update-grub
This will autodetect bootable partitions. There is a WAY you can manually do it too but its a BIT risky so id SUGGEST a full backup of the hard drive before you attempt it. Through the manual way you can also configure what option is selected automatically , the time that the loader will wait for you to change selection as well as being able to set the message on the grub entry , colour , apparently there is an option to enable the tux icon at the top RIGHT too!

either way it should be no problem!

edit - youll have to use a live cd to install and update it , or try reinstalling linux , it could be that you didnt let it install grub
