(SOLVED) Change Default OS

Hello.

I've been using zorin on my old pc for a week, and it's working great. However, I'd like XP to remain the default OS. I've tried the following.

Typing "sudo gedit /etc/default/grub" into terminal. Gives me "sudo: gedit: command not found"

Typing "sudo apt-get install startupmanager". Gives me
"Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
REad state information ... Done
E: Unable to locate package startupmanager. "

Not quite sure where to go from here, thanks in advance

Hi,
Try this in a terminal type

Code:

sudo apt-get install leafpad

when that is finish type

Code:

sudo leafpad /etc/default/grub

when that file comes up you need to follow the instructions on this page.
http://askubuntu.com/questions/52963/how-do-i-set-windows-to-boot-as-the-default-in-the-boot-loader

when you enter this command

Code:

grep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg

you want to look for the line in the list that is your windows xp entry copy that line and past it
in the sudo leafpad /etc/default/grub file that you have open in leafpad.
you'll be looking at a line that looks like this

Code:

GRUB_DEFAULT=0

change it to look somethng like this

Code:

GRUB_DEFAULT="Windows xp (loader) (on /dev/sdx)"

sdX (Xbeing the drive number that your windows xp is installed to.
Save the file once done and exit leafpad.
now in a terminal type the following command:

Code:

sudo update-grub

when that finishes reboot and xp should be the default boot.
good luck

This didn't work sadly.

@kc1di
Worked perfectly, thanks.

Your Welcome Enjoy

One last question, is it possible to change my dns servers to Google/OpenDNS

Ok thank you so much for the help.

Are you using Zorin Lite or Zorin core? If you are using Zorin Lite, then leafpad is the default editor.
Only if you are using Zorin core, you get "gedit" by default.
