ok guys, I need to make grub load windows by default rather than ubuntu, it's a bit of a pain atm as it has a list of options to load (3 ubuntu inc memtest) with windows at the end if I reboot my PC then go to get somthing it just boots ubuntu.
This caused me to lose 10 hours folding last night (power went off and on, pc booted ubuntu, didn't start folding like windows does)!
so guys, long story short
how do I get windows to boot by default!
 
sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

Then find which number down your Windows installation is, it'll probably be 3rd, recalling that the list starts with 0. Find where it says "default 0" and change the 0 to be whatever number corresponds with the Windows installation.

EDIT: Oh yeah, almost forgot. Shame on you for not folding whilst in Ubuntu as well. :p

I would
but I CBA as I use windows for 99% of the time as it will run the GPU folding prog at good clocks!
