I have Ubuntu 5.04 and Windows XP Media Center standard with sp2 (shouldn't make a difference though) installed on two different partitions. Mainly I use WIndows since when I decide to go play a game or play media files (on my xp partition) I don't have to reboot and reselect. The problem is by default Ubuntu starts up since it is at the top of the list. Normally I'd just go My Computer>Properties>Advanced>Settings for something on there (I forgot) and change the default, but it seems that only works with other Windows operating systems. How can I change this? It drives me crazy!
When I go to edit my boot.ini in Windows I do not even see my linux OS on there. Here is my boot.ini file:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Media Center Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
As you can see Linux doesn't show up. Perhaps I could modify this in linux, but I am a bit of a linux noob having used it only for 6 months or so and I am unsure of how to do so. If anyone can tell me what to do wheter in Linux or Windows it would be very helpful.
Additional problem: My USB keyboard(s) never work in DOS and BIOS, only PS2 works. In BIOS I have USB support and USB 2.0 enabled, but it still does not work. USB to PS2 adapters don't help either. Oh, I have Award BIOS by the way.
Help will be VERY appreciated!
