grub

Hello,

I had installed reinstalled windows and ubuntu various times.

Now Everything is set and I want to edit grub to set windows 7 as my default os

when I run this command

gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

I get an error that No such file or Directory found`

then I tried this

sudo grub
find /boot/grub/stage1

I get an error No File found. Can anybody help me how can I change my default os?

// Edited

ls -a /boot/grub

ls -a /boot/grub

Thank You
