Hello !
I have dualboot Win7 & Ubuntu 10.10. Ubuntu was istalled after Win7, so GRUB was default bootloader till I formated Win7 partition and installed it again. After that, I lost GRUB, and Windows bootloader couldn't show Ubuntu on list until I fixed it with Easy BCD. Now, my default bootloader is from Windows. After starting the machine, it shows:
1. Windows 7
2. Ubuntu 10.10

When I choose Win7, it boots normally, but when I choose Ubuntu, it opens GRUB menu:

1. Ubuntu, kernel 2.35.32 generic...
2. Ubuntu, kernel 2.35.32 generic...(recovery mode)
3. Windows 7

How can I set the GRUB as default bootloader instead of Windows' bootloader? I mean, after starting machine, I want only this GRUB menu to appear.

What if you remove the WIndows 7 option with Easy BCD, then "Ubuntu" should be the only one to boot?
