Dual booting Debian and vista
« on: May 16, 2013, 07:22:55 PM »
I have never needed to dual boot before help is appreciated.

I plan installing Debian on a 50 gb ex3 partition and vista on the other 200gigs.
The thing is I find grub annoying is there a way to install it so it automatically boots to windows and not even show grub at all?

How would you ever boot into your other os without being able to choose from the grub menu?

Do you just want to move windows up, so it's the first selection on the grub menu?

I want to set it to automatically boot to windows with a delay of like 1 second to pick debian.
So yes.
