Maybe you could try this: http://www.cnet.com/uk/how-to/how-to-change-the-boot-order-of-a-dual-boot-linux-pc/ ie use an ubuntu package called StartUp-Manager also see the grub cusomizer package used in ubuntu produced by Daniel Richter: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1664134 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gaImxC-grU It can change boot order. There is another package for Ubuntu called rEFind that might be helpful: https://sourceforge.net/projects/refind/ http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/index.html MF There are some extra suggestions here: http://www.zdnet.com/article/seven-ways-to-set-up-multi-booting-with-windows-8-and-linux/ Regds MF > > TIA, > > Alan > > -- > Alan McConnell : http://globaltap.com/~alan/ > "Women run for office to do something, and men run for > office to be somebody."
