What distrobution of Linux are you using? The answer may be a little different with each distro. Also, are you using LILO? This also will make a differece as to how you set up to boot into the default OS. My system is set up to boot into Windows by default. I have not gotten my better half converted to Linux, and I like being married.

HERE'S THE GRUB BOOT FILE:
