Setting up dual boot with Windows Vista.

I have been trying out different Linux distros to dual boot with Windows Vista. First I tried Ubuntu and it worked fine. Then I tried Fedora 15 and it worked fine as well. Then I went back to Ubuntu but now I have decided to stick with Fedora.

The first time I installed Fedora it gave me options for choosing default OS and other things, now I can't remember how I did that and can't figure out how to do that agian. How do I do that agian?

I want it to automatically boot into Windows Vista. I am installing Fedora on a seperate hard drive.

Re: Setting up dual boot with Windows Vista.

Open grub.conf(/boot/grub/grub.conf) and edit so that your Vista entry has the "default=x" line set to "default=1". That will make it automatically boot if you haven't selected anything beforehand on the menu.
