Hello,

You are almost there. There is a line which states :

default 0

right ?

This is the system which be loaded by default. This mean, the first possiblity of your menu.lst.

If you want to set the second by default, set :
default 1

Copy and paste your menu.lst if you need more help.

Hope it helps you,
Raphaël

Type this command in a terminal and you will be able to edit the file :
sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
