Note: This figure is from the JarvisChu blog.
4.2. add a Windows 7 boot item, which is similar to the RedHat boot item of the file. Add a Windows 7 boot item at the end. Assume that Windows 7 is installed on the C drive (otherwise, root (hd0, n) and n is your installation disk). Note: this chapter is from the JarvisChu blog
4.3. save and restart your computer. small expansion-default boot item and wait time settings Note: This chapter comes from the JarvisChu blog about how to enter Windows7 by default after we want to start up and wait for 10 seconds to select a time.
