    Hi!

    I have a Windows partition, an Ubuntu partition and a Slackware partition on my hard disk. I was just wondering how I can choose what partition to boot into?

    Thanks very much!

    Is the GRUB bootloader installed? Do you see a list with the available operating systems when you start your computer?

    (or do you mean that you want to set the default operating system in GRUB?)
