Re: [newbie] GRUB customization
You don't have to switch anything around to have your windows partition as the default. Just open up "DrakConf" and click on "Tools for booting". Choose "Configure LILO/GRUB". Click on your windows partition and choose "Default". Click "Ok" and save. You are now good to go.
