Best to do it from the terminal. Make sure you are logged in as root. The reason you get permission denied is you are doing it as a none root user. So when you open the terminal type su - then it will ask for the root password type that. Then you can use nano or gedit to edit the file.

Exact command will look like the following.

root%26gt; su -

Then enter root password



root%26gt; nano grub.conf

root%26gt; gedit grub.conf



if you do not have gedit installed just do the following command.....

root%26gt; yum install gedit.How to change default start from linux to windows xp?
in XP, try this ...



START

CONTROL PANEL

SYSTEM

ADVANCED

Startup and Recovery ... Settings



There you can see the start ups and select the default.

You can choose these options while instalation only.
