Hello, I just finished installing Ubunto 10.10 and was wondering how I could boot Win7 instead of ubuntu, ubuntu loads and does not give me a choice of wanting to run Win7

When installing Ubuntu, I'm pretty sure it installs GRUB boot manager by default.

yeah my kubuntu done that i installed it on a separate ssd drive and my windows 7 on a separate optical drive but grub controls boot up. in my thread http://www.sevenforums.com/installation-setup/118324-duel-booting-linux-windows.html
i explain how to alter the grub boot loader menu to windows 7 being default on boot, also how to rectify the time clock if you suffer from the time keep changing when you boot in and out of windows 7 and linux operating systems using the terminal in the linux using the text editor too, remember to check what text editor your linux is using at default (in my kubuntu its called kate)

When the computer boots up it goes straight to Ubuntu, is there a key I should press as in a F key? Oh and another thing, the Fifi ;ed blinks, it never did this until I installed Ubuntu.

did you use the windows install alongside to install the ubuntu?
windows should be the boot loader

When I installed Ubuntu I chose the Install alongside Win7 option, and then I had to manually make a partition. It kept giving me errors saying a root something wasnt selected and to fix it from the partition selections or something like this. So I google it and made a new partition then I had to type a forward slash. Thank you for your respones.
