Nah, no screenshots needed, we can do this blind.
Originally, my friend set it up so i can mess around with linux and still be able to have my windows option. I am going to be upgrading my HHD for my windows drive to an SSD and it has just become a nuisance when booting up because it has a 3 second timer that will boot the linux drive if i dont change it, plus i dont use the linux drive anymore
If you are going to be upgrading to a SSD, then this will be easy to fix. When you get the SSD, unplug all other drives and install on the new disk. This will install the Windows bootloader to the SSD. Once you are done, plug the other drives in, go into your BIOS (usually the DEL key, but it should tell you at the splash screen or in the manual), and put the SSD at the top of the boot order. From there, report back and I can help you get the drive "fixed" (remove the other partitions, etc).
But for now, you can set Windows as the default pretty easily, as long as you know how to login as root into Arch. Boot up the Linux install, if you know how to get to a command line through the UI (if it has one), do that and log in as root ("su - root"). Otherwise, press CTRL + ALT + F1 to get to a shell prompt, log in as root. We need to edit the grub.conf file and change the default option. Type the following:
This will open the file in a text editor. Use the arrows keys to get down to the option "default=0", change this to:
If there is not an option called "timeout=", add one on a new line, like so:
Code:
default=2
[COLOR=Red][B]timeout=5[/B][/COLOR]
If you didn't have this option before, it puts a time limit on how long it will sit at the bootloader before picking the default option (which we just changed to Windows).
Press "CTRL + x" to exit, "y" to save the changes, and press enter to confirm. Type "shutdown -r now" or "reboot" to reboot the system. It should now boot into Windows by default. You will still get the screen in the picture and you can still get into Linux if you wanted to, but you don't have to manually change the option every time you restart.
EDIT: I have no idea how new you are to Linux, so don't feel insulted, but don't type the quotes on the commands I gave.
