ubuntu-910-vs-windows-7

This post tells you about how i achieved a special “dual” boot -> ubuntu from media direct button  and windows 7 from the regular power button on dell xps 1330.

In the usual installation ,one would install windows 7 first and later install ubuntu. In this usual method, GRUB 2 would be the default boot loader and upon selecting windows 7 from the option list provided by the GRUB while booting,Windows boot loader would be called.Here,if you are selecting windows 7 ,you would be loading both GRUB2 and then windows 7 boot loader as well which would increase the System boot time.

Why did i decide to boot ubuntu from media direct button?
