do you mean on a permanent basis . ubuntu will boot by default unless i make another choice (win 7 in my case.).

if i knew how to do a screen capture from that screen(s) , it would make things much simpler and expedient. ??? have yet to try cn/alt/F2. I get stuck at failed to start session, so that suggest a session-related issue. We'll see . I'm ecstatic that my old HHD et al got transfered to new...
