All you have to do is change what partition is marked as boot. Using fdisk: ================================================================ fdisk /dev/sda1 Command (m for help): a Partition number (1-6): 1 Command (m for help): w The a command toggles the bootable flag. The w command writes the partition table to disk and exits. ================================================================ Using gparted: ================================================================ Highlight the partition you want to be marked as boot. From the Partation menu, pick Manage Flags. Click on the boot check box... ================================================================ One other note - it usually does not matter what partition is marked as bootable as long as one is...
