Booting into windows with partition

[Thomasf45]

Thanks for all your help, windows starts fine and everything seems to be in order...
i have 2 questions:
1- can i have that original menu that lets me choose between operating systems hidden unless i press any key, like i did before?
2- theres 2 fedoras on that same menu when i boot up. Do i need both of them? if not how do i get rid of that option so i just have fedora and windows?

thanks again for your help

You can disable GRUB Menu by removing # sign before hiddenmenu line in grub.conf file.

2- theres 2 fedoras on that same menu when i boot up. Do i need both of them? if not how do i get rid of that option so i just have fedora and windows?

Two kernel versions have been installed and you can remove earlier version. First of all, boot up latest version and check if everything works fine. If there isn't any problem like Graphics, Wireless or anything else, remove earlier version.

su -
package-cleanup --oldkernels

In case above command doesn't remove earlier version, un-install it manually using rpm command.

su -
rpm -q kernel
rpm -e kernel-<version>

Make sure to replace <version> with earlier kernel version only. Check the output of first command and note down kernel versions.

how did changing that 0 to the 1 effect windows being started?

Change default value in grub.conf file. If you have removed one of the kernel then title Windows OS is second title line in grub.conf file. As Grub starts counting from 0, default value should be 1 to set Windows OS as default OS.

Set default value to 1.

default=1
timeout=5
