I'm using GRUB v1.98 and have Windows 7 (x32) and Ubuntu 10.04 (x32) installed.

GRUB is installed to the MBR/boot sector.

I don't have access to the console, so I'm using GRUB_DEFAULT=saved and grub-reboot (from Ubuntu) to reboot into the different operating systems.

Is there an easier way to do this?

The "problem" is that when I'm in Windows and reboot, it always goes back to Ubuntu. This works fine and I can just use grub-reboot to reboot back into Windows, but it would be great if I could use grub-reboot from inside Windows.

My goal is to change the default boot OS without having access to the console.

Is it your intention that it always reboots to Ubuntu? If you enable grub_savedefault then it will reboot into the OS you last booted into. If this isn't working for you, is your /boot on an LVM partition? – Ibrahim May 9 at 2:26
