any way to change which partition auto loads?

Right now my menu at startup automatically goes to ubuntu if i dont pick vista. Is there anyway to make the comp autoload vista and then have the choice to chooselinux if i want?

 

Follow the steps on this page. It's instructions are for XP, but it's the exact same process. You're just going to have to change the GRUB ordering.

 

BootIt NG is a great partition management app AND boot loader. Its a little tough to master but once you understand how it works it is VERY powerful. With it you can create your own menu of operating systems and decide what partitions are visible to each OS. We have an IBM laptop with two drives and five partitions that we use for demos. We use BootIT NG to allow one configuration that sees three of those partitions, another which sees two, one that sees all five etc.

VERY powerful and the partition management part is equally as good. You can resize, move, slide partitions. It even allows you to create a list of tasks to do and combine them in one execution step. For example you can tell it to resize the first portion on the drive to a smaller size, slide the second portion down to fill the gap and create a new third partition. Once you tell it to do all three of these THEN you tell it to do them and it combines all three operations.
