Edited grub - cant boot LL

[gold_finger]

So you changed grub file and did get it to boot straight to Windows, but can't get grub menu to show so you can boot LL?  Didn't realize that's where you were at.

First, try to get the grub menu to show by using the LEFT <SHIFT> key (not the right shift key).  Turn computer on, wait 1-2 seconds, then hold down the left shift key.  Don't tap it, hold it down.  If that doesn't work and you still boot straight to Windows, restart with live LL dvd/usb again.

Once up into live LL dvd/usb, open a terminal and do the following to mount your root partition, display the contents of the grub file, then unmount the root partition.

Code:

sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt
cat /mnt/etc/default/grub
sudo umount /dev/sda5

Copy/Paste the terminal output back here for us to see and we'll go from there.  Will want to see exact changes you made to that grub file before offering fix suggestion.
