Open a terminal and become root with su and entering the root password.
Then, edit /etc/grub.conf with your favorite editor; for example
gedit /etc/grub.conf &
For example, my grub.conf is:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this
file
# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
# root (hd0,7)
# kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda8
# initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda8
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,7)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora Core 5 (2.6.15-1.2054_FC5)
root (hd0,7)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 ro root=LABEL=/1
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.img
title Other
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
To get windows (Other above) to boot first, change the
default=0
line to
default=1
then save and exit.
