Code:: How to Change Order of Dual Boot MenuList This tutorial is same way with tutorial 3 Steps to Remove Windows from Dual Boot Menu (it's very easy). But Step 2 is different. Take a look. SCENARIO We have 2 OS's, Linuxmint and Windows 7 (or other Windows). Usually, Windows menu is in the last order in dual boot menu. This time, we make it to up of the menu, the first one. STEP 1 Fisrt, enter your Linuxmint. Open Terminal and type : gksudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg this command will open file grub.cfg. It contains some commands that set dual boot menu. Yes, we can edit it. STEP 2 Search word "Windows" in this file, and we will find some commands like this. ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### menuentry “Windows 7 (on /dev/sda1)” { insmod ntfs set root=’(hd0,1)’ search –no-floppy –fs-uuid –set 2c72f8d872f8a7aa chainloader +1 } ### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### Block this commands then Move to above commands for Linuxmint so that like this. ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### menuentry "Ubuntu 10 versi Windows 7(on /dev/sda1)" { insmod ntfs set root='(hd0,1)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 2c72f8d872f8a7aa chainloader +1 } ### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### menuentry "Linux Mint 9, 2.6.32-21-generic (/dev/sda6)" --class linuxmint --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { recordfail insmod ext2 set root='(hd0,6)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 32054218-5964-40c0-84e7-efb0cd3a3a2e linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-21-generic root=UUID=32054218-5964-40c0-84e7-efb0cd3a3a2e ro quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-21-generic } menuentry "Linux Mint 9, 2.6.32-21-generic (/dev/sda6) -- recovery mode" --class linuxmint --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { recordfail insmod ext2 set root='(hd0,6)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 32054218-5964-40c0-84e7-efb0cd3a3a2e echo 'Loading Linux 2.6.32-21-generic ...' linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-21-generic root=UUID=32054218-5964-40c0-84e7-efb0cd3a3a2e ro single echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...' initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-21-generic } ### END /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### STEP 3 To make it works. Update the grub. Type to Terminal : sudo update-grub
