Gutsy/Windows Dual Boot

[John Graddy]

I'm completely new to 'messing with GRUB'.  However, I am assuming that
I can test this by entering the commands into a GRUB command line
(during the boot process).  No matter which (hd...) I enter-  (hd0,0) or
(hd0,1), when I enter savedefault I get 'Error 27: Unrecognized
command'.  Is my assumption that I should be able to enter this into the
GRUB command line incorrect?

Thanks,
John
