I have WindowsXP installed on one partition and i have installed Xubuntu on a second partition. It also installed grub so i can choose with OS to start.

The problem is that i am connected to the computer from remote connection using VNC. When the Xununtu is on and i want the XP, there is no problem. I just change the grub startup order using startupmanager to XP and i restart the computer, wait a few seconds and reconnect with VNC.

But now when i am in the XP, How can i change back to the Xubuntu? Any other idea?

Thanks.

Mount /boot with ext2tools or whatever and modify the boot order
