How To Get Windows To Stop Assuming Precedence Over GRUB?
I have a SATA hard drive with an MSDOS MBR partition table, an ext4 Linux-based OS, an NTFS Sindows 7 (the bastard), and an extended partition. I was happily using my ext4 partition for quite some time, but grew anxious to return to my extensive Steam games collection. So, I then made the mistake of installing Microsoft Sindows 7. Now, it the system loads the MS bootloader instead of GRUB, and when I try to change the default OS, it only registers Sindows as being an OS on the computer. I would hate to think that in all of their "expertise" the MS crew couldn't even write something to recognize that ext4 partitions exist. So, how can I change the main bootloader back to GRUB? I could always load both OS's with GRUB before, but now I don't know what is going on.
