Altering the default boot option on CentOS

view full story
linux-howto

http://unix.stackexchange.com – I recently installed a copy of CentOS onto my main hard drive (I now have Windows 7 and CentOS). Whilst installing CentOS, I accidentally set it to be the main boot option, so when I start my PC I have three seconds to select Windows 7 or it automatically boots into CentOS. I would rather Windows 7 be the default option -- how can I change it? (HowTos)

I am trying to install either Debian or CentOS on a home server (Fujitsu PRIMERGY TX100 S3). I first tried installing Debian. The whole installation was successful (including grub). But after rebooting, the OS would not boot up.

I am facing some problems after installing Ubuntu.

My computer wants to reboot after installing Ubuntu, but after I restart it, Windows 8 boots automatically. I cannot find any boot option to select operating system, it just boots my Windows 8. I cannot see the drive where I have installed Ubuntu.

How can I fix this?

I had a CentOS home server, running Samba - which died after a local (but short) power outage. Unfortunately, I didn't run it on a UPS.

Now the CentOS box won't get on the network...

I elected to mount the hard drive in my Ubuntu desktop box, and copy off the contents... which brings me to my question.
