BOOT PROBLEM!

Hi everybody!
Just installed Zorin OS 5 on a PC running Windows 7.
Now Windows doesn't load anymore. When I start the PC, I get directly to the Zorin loader, which doesn't even let me choose Windows. I need to enter Windows as a preferred OS. How can I have the Windows loader by default?

First of all I suppose that you have chosen to install Zorin in parallel to Win7 ...??? (and not Zorin to occupy the whole disk).
(Also, is there any way that you have installed Zorin in a different drive?)

If so, the win7 option in the grub menu should be appearing automatically...

Anyway try this.

Login to Zorin, open terminal and write

Code:

sudo upgrade-grub

reboot and hopefully this time you will have a win7 option in the grub menu. (probably will be the last option).

Do this, see that you get the win7 option, and I will explain later on how to chose win7 by default.

Try in a terminal with:

sudo update-grub

Also you might want to learn about GRUB2:

My bad sorry for the typo. As wolfman said its

Code:

sudo update-grub

(not upgrade).

You can also try this:

It's a GUI version of a grub install/reinstall interface. It works well, and does all the command line stuff for you, including installing and updating grub.

Used this on my machine to fix my Windoze-corrupted MBR.
